I dislike WONTFIX; I think for all the bugs closed that way, INVALID is
more appropriate (i.e., declare it to be not a GCC bug rather than to be a
GCC bug that won't be fixed).  WORKSFORME is more reasonable.

Yes, we created SUSPENDED and made sure that it counts as open in default 
searches for this purpose.  The one bug closed as LATER should be open as 
SUSPENDED instead.
