Yeah, this would be a good idea if we had tests that we expected to fail
on a particular platform for a long period of time and we couldn't just
skip them somehow.  I haven't run across any of those yet.

The ones that are currently failing in my AIX report are actually because
of AFS and will fail for anyone running the test suite out of AFS.  I'm
pondering whether I can just fix that, actually, since archive could also
use the same code to do relative symlinks.
