Hi Ivan,

> +	   # E2K (elbrus) systems send SIGILL on an access to an invalid address.

This is a bug in the system. Access of an invalid address ought to produce a
SIGSEGV or SIGBUS.

'elbrus' is not an important OS so far, for which it would be worth adding
workarounds in the gnulib source.
Is it still in development? -> If so, please fix that bug.
Or is it a museum system? -> If so, just bear with the test failure.

Bruno
