Re: to XFAIL or not to XFAIL

If we had a third case, say KFAIL, for "known to fail but ignore it
anyway," I'd be happy to go along with your policy. Using XFAIL for
both "ignore until later" and "impossible to fix on this target" makes
it difficult to assess the overall quality of the software.
Agreed.
Note that the binutils testsuite is so radically incomplete that it
should not be used to assess overall quality in any case.
