I prefer the sentiments of comment #2 from PR61399.

Perhaps, the test passed on powerpc*-linux because
it was a poorly defined test for that target and
ppc*linux got lucky.

But, I'll restate the obvious from my comment #15.

   Given the lack of details regarding the nature
   of the failure, xfailing the testcase is the
   only option.

Or in other words, we can't fix something that is
poorly defined.  So, the only solution is to sweep it
under the rug.
