Testing anything but the installed compiler is a mistake, the testsuite
should be completely separated from the build process, and running
the test suite should take place after the install step IMHO.
I never understood what are the advantage (if any) of tying the
testsuite run to the build process, any info? I can list
only disadvantages...

One point that would be nice for test suite technology would
be a gcc flag or tool generating normalized output giving information
about what is available to test (targets, languages, etc...).
I assume most of the information is already available by
combining existing flags, but then even we don't modify the driver
a documented and maintained (accross driver changes)
script using the driver producing such information would be great.
