BTW, Michael, any thoughts on how to fail this on systems that can't
efficiently dump a 3g core file? Skip the test I guess, but with which
mechanism? untested?
Unconditional UNTESTED is simple and good. "Hey, what happened with
the 3 gigabyte core dump test?" "Oh, it says UNTESTED". It's pretty
clear to me what that means.
As for *how* to do it, that is harder.
The real issue is that the criterion is not really "what is the target
triple", but "what are the resources of the specific test bed". Like,
Daniel J says that it would be awkward to enable it in the Debian
version. And it's useless for me on HP Test Drive, because I run into a
ulimit at 1 gigabyte. That's a property of HP-TD policy, not of the
hppa2.0w-hp-hpux11.11 target. I dunno how to encode that kind of
criterion in the test suite.
