Hi Petar,

There isn't any need to execute a large testcase.  Instead, try adding a short version of your test to the directory gcc/testsuite/gcc.target/mips.
There are examples of other tests there they check for specific assembler sequences by using scan-assembler.   See umips-swp-1.c (and others) for a specific example of how to do this.
Let me know if you need additional help.
Thanks,
Catherine
