Thank you for the lightning quick (Im sure its sub 1 minute!) response!

When you say its a 'tesuite failure' I am not sure I know what you mean. 
Does it mean that the test case failed and that gcc is wrong, os is the 
test case incorectly written in that it should accept those unresolved 
as valid? Thank you :)
