(added testsuite maintainer on CC)
Well now you know one. I understand that this may not affect most gcc
developers. However it does affect casual volunteers who run the testsuite.
By polluting the results with spurious fails it makes the results less useful,
and this sends the general message that volunteers running the testsuite on
old/spare hardware is not welcome. I don't think that is a message you want to
be sending at all and indeed I seriously doubt that there was any such intent
with the changes. Rather, I think there is simply an undetected bug that was
not caught exactly because most developers have newish machines.
