I experimented with this in IcedTea7.  You add something like:

-exclude:$(abs_top_srcdir)/test/jtreg/excludelist.langtools.jtx

to the jtreg invocation, where excludelist.langtools.jtx is just a
list of the tests to exclude.

e.g.

# Fail to compile
javax/imageio/metadata/DOML3Node.java
javax/swing/border/Test4856008.java

IcedTea7 currently excludes all tests known to fail and the exclude
lists describe why.
