> Tests (or examples) that fail for known reasons that we haven't been able to
> deal with should be distinguished from failures that haven't been analyzed
> yet. For example, an example program that fails to compile on an older target
> platform because of a compiler bug that we can't find a simple/elegant
> workaround should be flagged as such in the test results. Similarly, a test
> that fails one or more assertions due to compiler or libc bugs on a specific
> platform (or a set of platforms) that we are unable to work around should be
> reported as such.
> This is important in order to reduce the currently fairly large number of
> unexpected failures and to be able to make changes without having to worry
> about regressions as much.
