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.
Except this is a regression which is different from a normal bug that
has never worked.
Anyways the best way to fix this is just to fix the bug. Someone
exposed the regression back in 4.0 time frame, I reported the bug
before getting approval for the patch. They were not willing to fix
it so why punish the testcase which is obviously is a regression.
I think we should be punishing the person who exposed/introduced the
regression instead.
