The dejagnu documentation disagrees.  It lists UNSUPPORTED as
impossible (or meaningless) to test on this target.  UNTESTED is given
by a placeholder for a missing or incomplete test.

However, the docs agree that XFAIL means "bug, but expected", and
indicate that these would signal XPASS's when the bug is finally
fixed.
