Thanks for reviewing it Michael.
I do not strictly prefer one way or the other
(and I guess so is Michael Snyder). I believe the
decision can be made based on the importance of testing
the specific target output. That is why I've asked Elena
if she wanted to test the powerpc target output or just
prevent the test to fail (she is in better position to
decide).
I wish we had a cleaner way of adding target specific tests.
Maybe we can establish that a new test has to be created so
that the specific target output is tested and it would only
run for that target and produce unsupported for any other.
This brings a setup_supported (?) proc idea to mind. Oh My!!!
Regards to all,
Fernando
