<blushing> Hard to argue when you put it that way :-).

Here are test results for x86 linux (Red Hat Linux 6.1) and SunOS4,
respectively.  In both cases they were the same with and without the
http://sourceware.cygnus.com/ml/gdb-patches/2000-q1/msg00251.html
patch.

I think the larger issue regarding the testsuite still needs
attention/rethinking, but obviously I'm not in a very strong
negotiating position just now :-).  So I won't elaborate just now (I'm
in enough trouble as it is).

Linux:

    # of expected passes		6357
    # of unexpected failures	12
    # of expected failures		200

SunOS4:

    # of expected passes		6409
    # of unexpected failures	28
    # of unexpected successes	1
    # of expected failures		171
    # of unresolved testcases	5
    # of unsupported tests		1
