Many people regularly post their testresults to the
"gcc-testresults" mailing list. See:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/current/

and look at a couple of "4.1.0" testresults for "i686-pc-linux-gnu".

BTW, be sure to also test your patch with Jacks included. See:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/install/test.html#TOC2

I regularly run the "libjava" testsuite on i686-pc-linux-gnu
and there should be no FAILs in the current mainline, including
Jacks.
