Yep.  However, Pitchumani added (in r2520) code to runtest.sh that
always assumes the current multilib directory layout, thus the
$AVRDIR/avr/lib/$multilibdir/$2/lib$2.a is always added to the linker
line.  This, in turn, is needed since runtest.sh does not want to rely
on any installed library version, but instead allows for testing
inside the current build environment, so it uses -nostdlib, and adds
all the libraries explicitly.

I'm not sure whether it really makes much sense to put any kind of
effort into this to allow being compiled on older compiler versions.

I just fixed a few errors in the testsuite where code has been
causing warnings or compilation errors.  Being still at GCC 5.3.0
here, all the scanf tests stumble across a GCC ICE:

Simulate: scanf/sscanf_flt-f1.c /scanf_flt atmega128 ... scanf/sscanf_flt-f1.c: 
In function 'main':
scanf/sscanf_flt-f1.c:162:1: internal compiler error: in push_reload, at 
reload.c:1380
 }

no stack trace because unwind library not available

*** compile failed

That might perhaps already be fixed in more recent GCC versions.

I see a few regression errors::

Simulate: regression/bug-27242.c atmega128 ... *** simulate failed: 8
Simulate: regression/bug-27242.c at90s8515 ... *** simulate failed: 8
Simulate: stdlib/malloc-7.c atmega128 ... *** simulate failed: 92
Simulate: stdlib/malloc-7.c at90s8515 ... *** simulate failed: 92
Simulate: stdlib/realloc-3.c atmega128 ... *** simulate failed: 2
Simulate: stdlib/realloc-3.c at90s8515 ... *** simulate failed: 2
Simulate: other/realloc-01.c atmega128 ... *** simulate failed: 2
Simulate: other/realloc-01.c at90s8515 ... *** simulate failed: 2

These are all about malloc/realloc.  They have to be investigated.

Interesting enough, all the previously known issues in
known-to-fail.txt no longer appear in the list.

Finally, I had to drop AT90S4414 from the "full MCU" list since
modern simulavr no longer supports it, and replaced AT90S2313 by
ATtiny2313.  This yields a few new simulation errors:

Simulate: avr/eeprom-1.c attiny2313 ... *** simulate failed: 70
Simulate: avr/eeprom-2.c attiny2313 ... *** simulate failed: 46
Simulate: avr/eeprom-3.c attiny2313 ... *** simulate failed: 64

Not sure what's wrong here ...
