Just wondering.  Would it make life easier if we fixed PR 23368, which 
is the reason we have to do the test in an unnatural way?  I don't know 
if the fix I proposed here is totally correct:

https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=23368#c4

but I think it would be an improvement compared to what we have now.  I 
ran it through the buildbot and there are no regressions.  If you want I 
can submit a proper patch for that, and then we can rewrite this test in 
a more normal way.

Simon
