we aren't expecting you to fix existing broken tests, but new patches
shouldn't cause regressions.  so usually what people will do is run
the whole testsuite (binutils, ld, gas, gold, etc...) w/their changes
and if there are any failures, they'll revert their changes and see if
the test fails in the same way.  if it does, they ignore it.  if it
doesn't, then it's their responsibility to fix the failure because it
was their new change that caused the problem.
