The vect tests use 'run' or 'compile' as the dg-do action based on checks in vect.exp. For powerpc and alpha this is based on a check of whether hardware support is available, via check_vmx_hw_available and check_alpha_max_hw_available. A few tests use check_vect at runtime instead because of limitations of the test directives. It sounds as if there should be a check in target-supports.exp for SSE2 support that determines whether the default test action is 'run' or 'compile' for i686 targets. Janis
