Depends upon what you're doing...  For the normal regression test  
while developing  work for gcc, it is customary to have 2 runs and  
compare them.

If you're doing up a new port, and want it to work well, then the  
absolute, there should be no unexpected failures is a good place to  
aim for.

You can consider each email of results to the gcc tests results list  
to be a baseline, in that case, we have oodles of baselines.
