           Summary: guality_check times out, so guality tests are not run
           Product: gcc
           Version: 4.6.0

Haven't figured out how to debug this, but I think this is likely a gdb
problem.  The test completes successfuly using gdb-6.3, but this version
is too old.  I believe 7.0 or latter is needed for the guality tests.

This problem is also present in 4.5 branch.

Huh.  But after all it correctly detects the tests won't work ...

Actually, that's not true.  See for example
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2010-11/msg01408.html

This testsuite run used an old build of gdb from cvs:
502 (hiauly1)dave> gdb --version
GNU gdb 2004-01-08-cvs

The situation on hppa1.1-hp-hpux10.20 is not any worse than on
hppa-unknown-linux-gnu where in theory things should work ...
In fact, the majority of failing tests are the same.
