I'd like to know how they got there.  The test is supposed to compile
something like

        int foo (int x) __attribute__ ((const));

Does that succeed?  (It ought to fail.)

Alas, an internal error is almost certainly a compiler bug and
therefore outside our scope.

If something we're doing is provoking it then we might be able to
avoid that, but with non-free software like xlc it's normally
impossible to tell.
