As I said earlier, the testsuite already provides effective-target support that checks for complicated things and it's easy enough to add more. Given that there are lots of spurious failures right now due to tests being compiled with conflicting options, or during dg-final checks when the expected code isn't being generated because multilib options override the ones given in the test, is this patch to skip tests using -mcpu if the multilibs use -march OK? I have made the change Joseph suggested to allow -march values that do not conflict. Expect lots more of these patches, with perhaps different solutions for different tests. Janis
