Um, careful here.
I don't think the question to ask is ``who will fix the failures''.
Rather, I think people should be asking ``does the test check correct
functionality''?
If the test is correct and applicable to more than just HP then I think
it should be enabled. If it adds to the number of failures for certain
targets then ``oops'' :-) I'd assume the relevant maintainers would
simply append this to their list of known problems.
Perhaphs post something like a transcript (assuming they are not to
large) of each test so people can see them in action.
As a generalization, GDB desperatly needs more tests.
enjoy,
Andrew
