  16: duplicate_conv.at:25 duplicate convenience archive names
MS link doesn't have reloadable objects (i.e. like "ld -r").

  24: link-order.at:26   Link order test.
Exporting int c variable.

  25: link-order2.at:46  Link order of deplibs.
Don't know. Should defbindir=`pwd`/lib be defbindir=`pwd`/bin in
link-order2.at? Maybe the MSVC fixup of -L options is too coarse?

  29: static.at:68       static linking flags for programs
m-all-static.exe.manifest isn't installed

  30: static.at:357      ccache -all-static
cl.exe spews out a banner on stderr which isn't [ignore]d

  31: export.at:25       Export test
Exporting variables.

  37: localization.at:25 localized compiler messages
CR in stdout and CR/NL in expected-stdout

  39: destdir.at:48      Simple DESTDIR install
m.exe.manifest isn't installed

  40: destdir.at:75      DESTDIR with in-package deplibs
m.exe.manifest isn't installed

  46: lt_dladvise.at:28  lt_dlopenadvise library loading
-avoid-version causes the names of the import lib and the static
lib to be the same. But something else<TM> also seems bad...

  47: need_lib_prefix.at:25 enforced lib prefix
-avoid-version problem from 46, but also needs -no-undefined.

  72: stresstest.at:31   Link option thorough search test
Automatic path conversion in MSYS doesn't kick in for the argument
-OUT:/some/absolute/path so lib.exe barfs.

  73: cmdline_wrap.at:28 Run tests with low max_cmd_len
I just ran out of steam...

Cheers,
Peter
