RFE: compile/fail tag to recognize compiler failures

Greetings,

I would like to request changing compile/fail tag semantics a bit.

Currently if the compile fails to compile the provided class, the test  
passes regardless of the reason of the failure.  jtreg does not  
distinguish between failures due to compiler reported errors or  
unexpected exceptions in the compiler.

I request that jtreg to recognize these unexpected errors and treat  
them differently from expected errors and not ignore them silently.

Regards,
Mahmood
