before i added binutils-2.17, i ran `make check` on it for about 25 
targets ... of those, about 10 failed ...

i checked with upstream and others reproduced it ... i dont know about you, 
but i dont have the skills to go in and fix the failures for all of those 
architectures

while i like the idea of all packages being able to pass FEATURES=test, 
somethings it just aint gonna happen with Gentoo's available skill set
