You compare the test results of your patched gcc to the test results of an
unpatched gcc.

How did you get lost? To "compile gcc 3 times" you just run "make", and it
does that automatically (unless you configured with --disable-bootstrap, in
which case it just compiles once).

No change ever takes two minutes, because you have to write tests at a
minimum.
