>From this moment on, the regression tools implement support for a limited 
form of regular expressions in test case names, namely:

    <test name="sometestname">      // exact match
    <test name="*">                 // anything
    <test name="*sometestname*">    // contains "sometestname"
    <test name="sometestname*">     // starts with "sometestname"
    <test name="*sometestname">     // ends with "sometestname"

Given this, your use case can be covered by something as simple as this:

    <test name="*_warchive">
        <mark-failure>
            <toolset name="mingw-3.4.1"/>
            ....
        </mark-failure>
