It means the compiler is failing 4900 tests.
However, this is not an indication of the number of bugs.
For the c-torture tests, for instance, unless the test specifies
otherwise, each test is compiled 8 times (with different flags each
time).
Other than that, all tests that aren't XFAIL, should be passing (in an
ideal world).
