Results for haifa-enabled egcs-2.93.20 19990427 (gcc2 ss-9809 29 e xperimental) testsuite on mips-sgi-irix6.2/-mabi=64

[Donn Terry]

I recently submitted a similar patch, which was redirected to
"fix in DejaGnu" by RTH.  However, I was never able to find out
how to actually get DejaGnu fixed.  (It turns out to be rather
simple: add a .x file in the right place with the right contents.)

I'm inclined to believe that we'd be better off using individual .x
files because it:
a) Documents what we're up to better.
b) Is something we can control directly.

However, I don't really have time/energy/bandwidth at the moment
to push on the issue.
