 BTW, I think there are two problems with the XFAIL code that was
 recently added.  With the first hunk, you set torture_execute_xfail
 and I believe the testcase fails to *compile* on those targets.  (You
 get the link failure when the opt doesn't occur right?)  If the
 testcase compiles you should never expect an execute failure.
 
 I came to this conclusion via visual inspection not any direct
 testing, but I believe you need to set torture_compile_xfail there
 instead.
 
 
 The second hunk for sparc -m64 looks correct, but it doesn't work for
 me for some reason.  See:
 http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2002-10/msg00194.html
 I'm not sure why, perhaps that one only looks for execute failures,
 not compile failures?  Not sure.  Can you reproduce it?
