While indeed we need much more coverage, there's also the problem that 
those failures there are can get largely ignored - regression testers have 
been showing continuous regression status since January (the last time 
<http://gcc.gnu.org/regtest/log.txt.gz> showed pass status) with some 
target-independent regressions present continuously since March.  
Regression status should be the exception rather than the rule.
