That is true, but nothing really happened during the 5 months that the tests
have been failing on many other architectures (except that powerpc and arm
had skipped those tests). There has been a PR open for all those 5 months.
We can perhaps revert the skips after branching GCC 11 off, but I have
little hope other target maintainers will do what you did, so unsure if it
would help. And the changes need people familiar with each of the backends
to decide what needs to be done and what is doable.
