Thanks for the explanation.  In 
<https://sourceware.org/ml/libc-alpha/2015-03/msg00170.html> you 
originally sent patches for all three of GCC, binutils, glibc, so giving 
the impression there might be dependencies between these patches.  If the 
tests work with any GCC version (i.e. fail if the architecture hasn't been 
fixed, pass if it has been fixed) then GCC changes shouldn't need to block 
them.
