In general, I think changing what an existing test tests like that is a 
bad idea - it's better to add a new test (which could #include the 
previous one with a suitable #define) instead.  But in any case, adding 
new tests or changing existing tests with a risk of introducing 
architecture-specific failures will need to wait until after 2.18 
branches.
