Well, I'd think this patch is pretty much GCC testing specific, like most
of the xfail support. If the GCC folks think it's ok, then I guess it's ok
with me too. I just merged in your patch, and I'll test it some. But off the
top of my head, it looks fine. I'll check it into the master sources on
subversions after playing with it.
