Please also document this new feature in the NEWS file.

Without having looked into the details I wonder why we can't use the
default, fp, sp, and pc.  Also, I'd slightly prefer initializing these
variables with their default values first and then adjusting them per
target as required.  (This is just a matter of taste.)

Otherwise the patch looks good to me.  But I think a global- or
testsuite-maintainer should approve the changes to the testsuite.

Thanks,
Andreas
