My worry with the 38533 test is that while the ASM defines "f" from the 
standpoint of dataflow, it does not actually emit any code to ensure "f" 
is actually defined.  This could lead to spurious aborts due to use of 
an uninitialized value at runtime.  Similarly for alias-14.c

I'd be worried that we don't necessarily have sync_bool_compare_and_swap 
on all targets for 69644.

flexary13.C probably won't link on a cross target unless the cross 
libraries are available.  But that's probably OK.

The rest seem OK to me.  Note that I'm not convinced all these tests 
were designed to be execution tests, even though they use 
__builtin_abort and friends.  Though it's a good marker of something 
that can/should be looked at.
