Any ideas?

see the message that proposed these tests:

http://sources.redhat.com/ml/binutils/2001-12/msg00483.html

Specifically, the part right before the end of the non-patch part,
that says:

IMO, These should not be XFAIL, because, well, though they currently
fail, they're real bugs and they've got tractable solutions and IMO we
shouldn't be marking anything other than 'absolutlely unfixable' bugs
as XFAIL.

In fact, I'm going to post a patch which should address these failures
within a week or so (time permitting; it's a nasty week and a half
ahead for me) which addresses them, but I'd like to test it some more
before I post it.

Why not mark them XFAIL for the time being, at least for Linux? I don't
believe they affect Linux.

I'd prefer not. They are failing tests, tests that should pass and just
because they are new is no reason to xfail them.
