------- Additional Comments From janis187 at us dot ibm dot com 2004-11-16 17:06 ------- GCC for powerpc64-*-linux* could be any of the following: (a) a compiler that generates only LP64 code; (b) a biarch compiler that generates ILP32 code by default; or (c) a biarch compiler that generates LP64 code by default. There's currently no way to detect, in an xfail list, that a test is compiled for LP64 code on a powerpc64-*-linux* target. My nightly bootstrap and test run uses (b) and Jon Grimm's uses (c).
If a test is unsupported for LP64 then it can always be skipped by using { dg-require-effective-target ilp32 }. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18403
