The test g++.dg/torture/pr101373.C, which examines behavior related to null pointer dereferencing, has been updated to be skipped on targets like arm-none-eabi. This is because some targets allow memory reads at address 0, which can lead to ambiguous or faulting behavior. The test now uses can_deref_null to determine if it should be executed, ensuring consistent test results across different target configurations.
