I am totally inexperienced with testing using dejagnu, but here's the
output summary that's dumped on my screen >>
                ===  Summary ===

# of expected passes            1774
# of unexpected failures        69
# of unexpected successes       2
# of expected failures          13

I see a lot of "FAIL:" messages, and they are somehow always related
to -march=x86 flag for llc. Following is an example of these kind of
errors>>

llc: for the -march option: : Cannot find option named 'x86'!


I'm not really sure what's going on! It'd be great if soemone can
provide some insight into this for me.

I compiled gcc-4.3 from sources.
