Ah I have tested x86_64-pc-linux-gnu and it's clean, I have also tried one configured with --enable-targets=all
and while the build seems to have taken longer I don't see the number of tests actually increasing.

I am just doing ../binutils-gdb-fsf/configure --prefix=(readlink -f .)/install; and make -j; and make check -j

Do I need to do something else?

I did however already commit the patch after Alan's approval.

Sorry I noticed after I sent it out that I forgot to add the PR. The PR was added however before I committed it
so the commits are on Bugzilla.

In general should re-open old PRs before committing to them?

Thanks,
Tamar
