I'm hoping to include the basic testsuite for c & c++ in the
next snapshot.

The testsuites use the dejagnu testing framework; therefore,
you'll need a copy of dejagnu installed to be able to run the
testsuites.

So, I've put a link to a recent dejagnu snapshot in
ftp.cygnus.com:/pub/egcs/infrastructure/dejagnu-970707.tar.gz

[ Note, old releases of dejagnu will not work -- a great deal of
  dejagnu and the testsuite harnesses changed recently to improve
  testing of cross compilers, dos hosted toolchains, etc etc. ]


Running the testsuite is easy.  After you've built the compiler
in theory all you have to do is say "make check" and wait.


This is one small step in the rather large job of exporting
Cygnus's internal testing infrastructure to the egcs community.
