I'd prefer to investigate better the failures than XFAILing them
blindly.  Not all the args.exp tests fail for instance, and I just
noticed that there are more failures in other tests than I
originally reported.  I'll have to pass for now, and defer to someone
who's more caring for the sim target.

Thanks, I've checked it in with those changed, after rerunning
the testsuite (without skipping most tests...).  There were
no regressions (actually fixed some MI issues than I posted about
a couple of emails ago).
