I am have been trying to get avarice interfaced to the test-suite code for
some days. It will not only be helpful for compiler testing. It will
possibly also contribute to the understanding by the general gcc community,
that 8 bit controllers are *not* children's toys.

Presently, I am still stuck with learning dejagnu and how the gcc test suite
on top of it works. Seems to be rather tricky. Does anyone has an idea where
to ask for more detailed documentation? The gcc manual is not *really*
explicit.

Maybe this is the place to acknowledge how helpful and appreciated Ted
Roth's contribution to the GCC framework has been for me.

Thanks.
