<<
But is it working for testing cross-compilers where programs for the
target need to be run on a simulator, or on an embedded board, or ...?  
>>

Yes, it has support for cross testing, although I haven't used it
myself. Maybe Laurent can comment on this part.

Basically there's a customization section where you can specify how
to load/run an executable.

<<
And does it generate .sum files in the Dejagnu format for the use of the
automated regression testers (this point is critical to get much of the
benefit of the testing, a sh script can always be committed first then
converted to a Dejagnu harness later to take advantage of all the support
Dejagnu has for testing cross-compilers)?
>>

No, but if there's a clear documentation about the format of .sum
files, I'd guess this should not be very hard to do.

<<
Does your test setup support additionally "ordinary" testsuite directories
for gradually accumulating tests in the style of
gcc.c-torture/{compile,execute} (test compilation / execution works with
multiple optimization options) or gcc.dg (test that error/warning messages
are as expected)?
>>

The current set up only supports executable tests, but it shouldn't
be too hard to enhance it if needed.
