Fails on Alpha at 2011-05-28.  In particular the following tests fail:

FAIL: plugin claimfile lost symbol
FAIL: plugin claimfile replace symbol
FAIL: plugin claimfile resolve symbol

Going back to the first one the ld.log file contains:

The regular expression in testsuite/ld-plugin/plugin-6.d only expects
one line with the "undefined reference to `func'" but on Alpha two such
(identical) lines are generated.

Should two such lines really be printed (i.e. is this a bug in the Alpha
linker) or should the regexp be updated to cope with the possibility of
the undefined reference line being printed twice?

Cheers
Michael.
