  Target Milestone: ---

The GCC testsuite is very big, and running it can take a long time. It woul=
d be
nice if there were alternate `check` or `test` targets that could be used to
run just a random sampling of the testsuite, or just a subset of the testsu=
ite
that is known to run quickly, for cases when I am feeling impatient and only
need to verify that basic functionality works, without checking for every
possible regression. I have seen other people mentioning that patches "seem=
 to
work ok after smoketesting" so it would be nice if their method of smoketes=
ting
were actually available for the rest of us to use.=
