We could consider setting up an automatic testing machine somewhere that not only does the usual test-suite, but also tests the unusual things like this. For example, I had a test case which died when launched with more than 32 threads for example. Not every machine or architecture could do that so I do not have a test case for it.
One of the big machines from the compile farm could do this, such as
gcc110 (a POWER7 that I use a lot for development) or gcc112 (a 160 core
machine).
