IMO this the change is far from obvious and defeats the purpose the changes in the test case which was to run the test on ALL targets. I need to know what are the affected targets, what part of the test triggers the failure, and if it exists a work-around. Cheers, Dominique PS I made a mistake in the SVN entry (it is correct in gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog). Is there a way to fix it?
