Actually, it's already in the torture testsuite.

Yes, it won't be tested by default since ppro instructions are
not on by default.

However, you can run the full testsuite with the magic options by
using the same basic mechanisms you've been using for multilibs.  In
fact this would probably be an interesting and worthwhile exercise --
run the whole testsuite with -march=pentiumpro -mcpu=pentiumpro.
