I'm not exactly sure what you're asking.  SPEC CPU2000 is a benchmark,
not a test.  SPEC regards standards compliance as a desirable goal, but
not a requirement.  They are more interested in portability.  There are
other cases where SPEC has nonstandard usage.  For example, "long long"
was used before it was in the standards.
