--- Comment #10 from Segher Boessenkool <segher at gcc dot gnu.org> --- You have /* { dg-error "alignment of 's' is greater" "" { target pdp11*-*-* } } */ (the "" was added in r265741, the source tree I looked at wasn't up-to-date). dg.exp says this is # dg-error regexp comment [{ target/xfail selector } [{.|0|linenum}]] so it should be fine now.
