Use of dg-xfail-if says that the compilation is expected to fail.  It
doesn't affect other directives like dg-final.

Using TCL expressions within test files is frowned upon, besides which
they aren't always evaluated by the the time they are needed.

I've apparently done all of my testing passing -m32 or -m64 to all tests
so I hadn't seen the failure of dg-skip-if when there are no options.
I'll look into that to see if there's a fix that doesn't involve procs
within DejaGnu.  In the meantime, for that particular test try moving
the dg-option directive before dg-skip-if.
