I was using a 32-bit host (or strictly speaking a 64-bit machine running 
in 32-bit emulation mode).  I based my comment about some extra targets 
not support 8-bit relocs on the error messages in the various gas.log 
files.  For example the xtensa-elf port complained about BFD_RELOC_8 
being unsupported, and the pdp11-aout port generates an error about an 
unsupported case value (which if you track it down, turns out to be a 
lack of support for 8-bit values).

Still if you feel my additions to the xfail list are wrong then please 
feel free to remove them.  Even better would be to fix the offending 
ports so that they pass the new tests.

Cheers
