CmmSwitchTest

[Alex Dzyoba]

Hello,

I was trying to reproduce issue #11297 (CmmSwitchTest is broken on
32-bit platforms ) from Newcomers page and seems to stuck. I would
like to ask for help here, but if there is a more suitable place to
ask, please let me know.

I've built current master (8c33cd4) stage2 compiler, removed
"when(wordsize(32), expect_broken(11297))" from
testsuite/tests/codeGen/should_run/all.T to see same errors as in
issue and got this (unrelated?) assertion:

*** unexpected failure for CmmSwitchTest(normal)

Is there anything I can do with this? Is it because that test has
64-bit unboxed integers and I'm running it on 32-bit VM?

Thanks,
Alex
