I'm not confident we know what clean results are for all the primary platforms, i.e. that anyone has tracked what failures are regressions and what aren't (which requires testing the FAILing tests with older compilers, not just presuming that a FAILing test not in a previous release isn't a regression). I know what the mainline testsuite regressions are cross-platform (bug 21541), on i686-pc-linux-gnu (bugs 21630 and 21653) and on hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11 (bug 21654) but not for the other platforms. -- Joseph S.
