All of these testcases now fail on AIX with "no section detected". One cannot XFAIL the scan, one must skip the entire test because of the manner in which scan-assembler-symbol-section works. And, Jeff, the "too painful to contemplate" snide comment is playing the victim. There are multiple AIX systems in the GNU Compile Farm with instructions on how to bootstrap GCC on the system. Jonathan Wakely and others don't have a problem testing patches on AIX. Other people are able to more thoroughly test patches. As one of the original GCC developers and a member of the GCC SC, this sets a poor example of patch development and testing. This patch should not have been pushed and should be reverted until it can gracefully fail on non-ELF targets. Thanks, David
