3. The gcc Testsuite is testing 'outside of gcc' and exercising the libraries of the Operating System (maybe GNU libc / libmath, maybe not). Features of the Operating System are checked for in ./configure and compensated for with: 1. alternate source, 2. "#ifdef"s, 3. Libiberty. Using the Testsuite to check outside the scope of the Testsuite is not valid and should be removed _OR_ at the very least we should split this into a different test and have it excluded on all platforms that do not support this ONE Operating System specific feature. That course of action means that other system libraries would also need to be excluded. You would not want to test Sun's libm for errors, compare that with any other library, and on that basis determine that the gcc Testsuite passed or failed.
