+Sun bug 4927647 sometimes causes random spurious testsuite failures
+related to missing diagnostic output.  This bug doesn't affect GCC
+itself, rather it is a kernel bug triggered by the @command{expect}
+program which is used only by the GCC testsuite driver.  When the bug
+causes the @command{expect} program to miss anticipated output, extra
+testsuite failures appear.
