[Bug testsuite/40002] New: Testsuite not finding libc headers with cross builds and only previous version of GCC installed

[pinskia at gcc dot gnu dot org]

I have built a 4.4.0 version of GCC and built newlib with that version and
installed it in say /MYPREFIX and then go and try to build 4.5.0.  I then build
GCC with the same /MYPREFIX but not a combined build, the testsuite is not able
to find the libc headers.

I don't know if this a regression because this is the first time I hit it and I
just happened to build 4.5 and was getting many failures this way.

An example of a failure is:
Executing on host: /home/apinski/src/local/gcc/objdir-spu/gcc/xgcc
-B/home/apinski/src/local/gcc/objdir-spu/gcc/   -O0  -w -c  -o 990625-1.o
/home/apinski/src/local/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.c-torture/compile/990625-1.c   
(timeout = 300)
/home/apinski/src/local/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.c-torture/compile/990625-1.c:2:
fatal error: string.h: No such file or directory^M

output is:
/home/apinski/src/local/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.c-torture/compile/990625-1.c:2:
fatal error: string.h: No such file or directory^Mcompilation terminated.^M

------- Comment #1 from hp at gcc dot gnu dot org  2009-05-02 17:03 -------
This bug has been there for a long time, maybe too old to call it a regression
(I believe older than the currently open branches).
Look for changes in handling of GCC_EXEC_PREFIX internally (not just the
test-suite) and for "relocated" toolchains.
