That may be harder - maybe an internal sigaction flag glibc passes to the 
kernel to tell it to use a corrected-layout siginfo, together with some 
symbol versioning?  In the absence of that, any architecture-specific 
XFAIL should at least give a detailed explanation of the ABI issues behind 
the expected failures.

(Eventually we may want more fine-grained XFAILs for these tests, but 
we're still a long way from simply having the tests reflect the standards 
accurately and having the easy bugs in the headers fixed, and I think we 
need to get to the point where the expected failures are genuinely hard to 
fix before looking at more fine-grained expectations.)
