Absolutely. I know of two current issues:
* one 64-bit failure on IRIX that I haven't analysed yet, so I cannot
tell if this was caused by the DejaGnu testsuite (non-default
multilibs aren't tested at all without DejaGnu, so this wouldn't have
shown up before), and
* failure to pass all required compilation flags (-pthread on Tru64
UNIX, which breaks testcase compilation).
I do have a preliminary patch for the latter issue (mostly on the build
side), but since my Tru64 UNIX V5.1 test system broke down recently and
I'm still looking for a replacement.

Thanks. There are a few other testsuites that could be converted:
libiberty and libgo immediately come to mind.
