The reason for the fail on hppa-linux is that Dave Anglin's fix for
PR12376 makes the data segment always start on a page boundary.
ie. the test should be xfailed for hppa-linux.

It fails on hppa64-linux because .dynamic is put in the text segment,
making the text segment writable, and then there isn't a reason to
make a second segment for .data.  A writable text segment is quite
horrible.  That should really be fixed.

Yes, I think we should remove i370 from the next binutils release.
