That's certainly a solution... but I wonder whether it might be easier
to simply fix the failing tests instead, to make sure that they do not
pass a value > sizeof(int) to report() and report_xfail_status() ?

Another idea would be to swap the parameters of report() and
report_xfail_status() :

... then we can keep the "bool" - but we have to fix all calling sites, too.

Paolo, any preferences?
