Won't this file become a complete mess if each architecture starts
specifying its own version for each of the tools? Is it likely that
all the others will follow ia64's bold lead in moving past 2.12
for binutils?
Overall this patch looks to be a good idea (oldest binutils on any
of my systems is 2.17) ... so clearing out all the ancient tests
for long-fixed bugs is nice. But I worry about being the trend
setter here.
