I don't think these have ever succeeded before, see

I suspect this may be caused by the test assuming that stack growth is
downward, but I don't really understand the test well enough to be sure.
I'll disable this set of tests for m68k going forward, so I am not going
to report the problem again in the future.
On m68k, the stack does grow downward.
AFAIK only parisc has a stack that grows upward.

In personal conversations with technical people, I call myself a hacker. But
when I'm talking to journalists I just say "programmer" or something like that.
