Sorry for the late reply.  I sort of hoped somebody else
would chime in.  Maybe the issue has resolved itself in the
meantime?

No, sorry.  If I were you and in this situation: IIUC with a
noticeable codegen regression around a specific commit (not
"just" say a percent pushing it over a timeout), I'd analyze
it with regards to the actual code regression around that
commit.  Though, that's just the usual leg-work when this
kind of regression happens: I have no insight specific to
this test.  I see no easy way around that hard work here.

It could, but I'm guessing that commit just caused a codegen
regression, perhaps even generating incorrect code to the
effect of an infinite loop.  Or is somehow it that usual ARM
caveat: default unsigned char?

All I know is that the intent is specific to functionality
in libstdc++-v3.

IMHO: only if you somehow make it ARM-specific.  It'd be bad
practice to "re-enable" it for all simulator targets only
because it exposes an uninvestigated issue for one specific
configuration, and a timeout at that.

Alternatively (after analysis), the SOP is to put a derived
minimal testcase in the *generic* parts of the test-suite (C
or C++, as a runtime test) unless the compiled code really
only runs on an ARM, in which case it goes in gcc.target/arm
or g++.target/arm.

HTH.

brgds, H-P
