I think the correct division is one PR per target architecture for all 
complex types ABI issues, rather than one PR per test failure.  That's the 
only way a target maintainer can sensibly fix their target's problems, 
test that they are fixed, and close the relevant PR; otherwise you have a 
catch-all bug that's open for ever without meaningfully reflecting what 
actually needs to be done to fix the problem.

The aim is that soon the bug *is* fixed for all the most commonly used 
targets - but will likely remain open much longer for many more rarely 
used targets.
