Uh, that explains it.
Thanks for the description,
Should probably be xfail'd for arm-elf. I never did because,
conceptually, someone could be testing arm-elf with a different target
than the simulator and a differently protocol than RDI and a different
library than newlib - but in practice I doubt anyone does, so if you
want to stick a comment and some xfails in...
