 You mean the issue with "traditional" versus IRIX emulation.  Hmm...

 I think we have other tests that fail if the default emulation is neither 
of {o32,n32} and I think the reason is different -m options would have to 
be used based on what o32 for the given target actually means, so I am 
leaving the decision to the maintainers.  I do not seem to see any attempt 
to address the issue in a systematic way in the test suite at the moment 
and certainly I would not expect you to be requested to implement it as a 
prerequisite for your change (unless you actually want to, that is!).
