The attached patch fixes the failures on m68k-suse-linux, visium-elf, 
and arm-eabi.

There were a few problems.

One problem is that on lp64 targets (where sizeof(size_t) != 
sizeof(int)), the warning is slightly different-- and rightly so.  I 
have updated the test to handle both warnings on the respective targets.

The other problem is that the following snippet is incorrectly warning 
on 32-bit targets:

   if (n > 0 && n < 2000)
     p = __builtin_alloca (n);

Looking at the gimple it seems like another case of VRP failing to give 
any range information whatsoever.  I have xfailed it as another case 
where Andrew's upcoming work should theoretically fix this.  The test is 
fine on 64-bit targets.

Can y'all double check it on your respective targets as I only have a 
crude cross build?

Thanks.
Aldy

This fixes both tests on m68k.

Likewise on Visium.

OK for the trunk whenever you're ready.

You are too fast for me :-)
I do not have the build trees for all the configurations ready for
manual testing...
So, I just merged the initial patch and the 2nd one, and started
a validation job to make sure the 2nd patch fixes all the regressions
observed earlier.
It will take a few hours.

There shouldn't be any problems that didn't surface in my cross build, 
since they are not execution tests, but compile tests.

I have committed the patch.  If there any specific failures specific to 
your target, let me know and I'll address those separately.

Thanks.

Validation results of the 2 patches combined are OK.
