Your rationale here is that, since we don't really know which of these
failures are genuine, can't-be-done-with-Dwarf-1 expected failures,
and which are GDB bugs, you want to dump them all into the "genuine
bug" category and start re-categorizing, using our modern
interpretation of XFAIL and KFAIL?
