[LLVMdev] make check issue with llvm-cov

[Reed Kotler]

The patch cannot be applied as is anymore. Too much has changed.

I will study it a bit to see if I can simply fix it but I'm not 
committing myself to doing this.
I will see how much work that is.

In the meantime I propose fixing the XFAIL line as Daniel suggested. I 
will try that out in parallel to see if it fixes our other issues.

>>> 'XFAIL: mips' counts as an XFAIL for all mips targets because lit is checking for substrings (using the 'in' operator) of the target triple and 'mips' is a substring of 'mipsel-...'. I haven't tested this but I think that we need 'XFAIL: mips-, mips64-' to distinguish little/big-endian correctly for MIPS.
