 For me (linux ppc) it allows the testsuite to complete.

 There is now one failure:
ERROR: 409 tests were run,
1 failed unexpectedly.
23 tests were skipped.

 which is

383: Exception safety api.value.type=variant         FAILED
(c++.at:912)

 I looked for that commit in git, but I can't see it.  Google found
it as a coloured diff, I couldn't see how to get a raw one, so I
applied the one-line change by hand to the 3.0 release.

 There, the testsuite completed with the same error so the commit
has not introduced a new failure.  Things are moving forward.

 I'm attaching a tarball of everything from tests/testsuite.dir/383
in 3.0.20-e4678 except for the 'input' binary.
