It's true that in development we may not want to XFAIL them - but it's
also true that this FAIL is on 4.2 branch and 4.2.0 is likely to be
released with it. And users installing GCC on common platforms should be
able to use the testsuite to tell whether their build is working OK, which
means that releases should have a baseline of 0 unexpected failures on
common platforms.
