Gosh, you mean to try and use the testsuite the way we had designed
it? :-) I fully endorse the idea. Though, in practice there may be a
few things that are hard to set as expected, due to the lack of
precision in expectedness setting.
For example, in the C testsuite I think it is hard to say this case at
-O3 fail on this list of hosts, but at -O2 they work.... (as I
recall). So the choice then becomes, do you want unexpectedness on
the pass over unexpectedness on the fail, or do you want to improve
the testsuite driver? The g++ testsuite doesn't suffer from this
problem as I recall.
Anyway, glad to hear it.
