When you say no this does not solve the immediate problem, are you saying that 
you are (still) seeing test failures with the require-effective-target patch 
applied? Or is the issue that this would not execute the tests as widely as 
might be possible? In principle I'm quite happy to relax the target patterns, 
although have been having issues with sparc (below)...

Re. "what the architectures have in common" is largely that these are the 
primary/secondary archs on which I've checked the test passes! I can now add 
mips and microblaze to this list, however I'm nervous of dropping the target 
entirely given the very large number of target architectures gcc supports; and 
e.g. IA64 (in ILP32 mode) generates an ashiftrt:DI by 31 places, not 
ashiftrt:SI, which does not match the simplification criteria in combine.c.

So I've built a stage-1 compiler with --target=sparc-sun-solaris2.11, and I find

   * without -m64, my "dg-require-effective-target ilp32" causes the 32-bit test 
to execute, and pass; "dg-require-effective-target lp64" prevents execution of 
the 64-bit test (which would fail) - so all as expected and desired.

   * with -lp64, behaviour is as previous (this is probably expected)

   * with -m64, "dg-require-effective-target ilp32" still causes the test to 
execute (but it fails, as the RTL now has an ashiftrt:DI by 31 places, which 
doesn't meet the simplification criteria in combine.c - this is pretty much as 
expected). "dg-require-effective-target lp64" stops the 64-bit test from 
executing however (despite that it would now pass).

Can you clarify what I should be doing on sparc, therefore?

Thanks for your help!
