The one I mentioned in the same sentence where I said no more fails, i.e
"the other one making need_lib_prefix.at skip".  See this thread:
http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/libtool-patches/2010-09/msg00201.html

Hmm, but "no more fails" is a truth with modification.  The *new*
testsuite has no unexpected fails.  There are still a bunch of
needed __declspec(dllimport) in the old testsuite, and perhaps there
are some other fails as well.  Not sure actually, I'm not normally
running it.  Given that, I'll hold back on any bragging in NEWS...

Cheers,
