GCC for powerpc64-*-linux* could be any of the following: (a) a compiler that
generates only LP64 code; (b) a biarch compiler that generates ILP32 code by
default; or (c) a biarch compiler that generates LP64 code by default. There's
currently no way to detect, in an xfail list, that a test is compiled for LP64
code on a powerpc64-*-linux* target. My nightly bootstrap and test run uses
(b) and Jon Grimm's uses (c).
If a test is unsupported for LP64 then it can always be skipped by using
{ dg-require-effective-target ilp32 }.
