If the breakage is in dejagnu, certainly a fix should go there.  However I
don't feel strongly about whether to fix it in GCC additionally and separately.
 If forced to pick, I'd lean towards dejagnu only since I'll upgrade once the
new version is out.

If we don't fix it in GCC, then we should remove the documentation that says it
works.  Perhaps we could recommend dg-xfail-if instead?

Either way we should probably continue to remove the existing dg-do xfails
since we'll start getting a bunch of spurious XPASSes once people start
upgrading to the new dejagnu.  I'll try and handle the ones that trigger on my
platforms but some I can't test to know whether simply to remove the xfail or
change it to dg-xfail-if.
