The explicit-failures-markup.xml on the release branch lists the following
compilers as 'required' :

acc
darwin-4.0.1
gcc-4.1.2_sunos_i86pc
gcc-4.1.3_linux
gcc-4.2.1
gcc-4.2.1_hpux_ia64
gcc-4.2.1_linux_x86_64
intel-linux-9.0
intel-vc8-win-10.0
intel-win-10.0
msvc-7.1
msvc-8.0
msvc-8.0_64

Which is a bit out of step with the compilers that are actually being tested on
that branch. Looks like it would be usefull to reconsider this list.
