Yes, I get your point.

But when I look at the existing tests, some target excludes the test 
entirely, while others uses XFAIL. Take the c30 target as an example. It 
does not xfail it - it simply skips the test. Which method should I use?

Take this x930509.s test as an example. I can either XFAIL it or I can 
exclude the test (as the *c54x*-*-* has done). (I will i either case 
repeat this test modified for this target later, anyhow.)
