Oops, you can ignore my last post...
Although indeed testing a package that is a compiler is a special case,
dejagnu DOES support it :/ (sorry, I am totally new to dejagnu as well).
>From libgloss.exp:
# Get the list of directories and -m options for gcc. This is kinda bogus that
# generic testing software needs support for gcc hardwired in, but to make

and yep, that is exactly where lookfor_dir_with_trigger.patch does make
its changes :). In other words, I redid the research of H.J. Lu and came
to the same conclusion: lookfor_dir_with_trigger.patch definitely is needed
to make it work. And that is final.
HOWEVER, the reason that dejagnu-980528 does NOT work anymore, while
dejagnu-971222 does work (both with lookfor_dir_with_trigger) is a bug
in egcs. I wrote a patch for it and will post that to egcs-patches.
(And the funny thing is that I already fixed this before I even tried
dejagnu-980528 ;).

PS CC to law@cygnus.com because the list is kinda slow. I CC-ed him with
the previous post too because I especially wanted to hear a "go" from
him and didn't want to wait too long ;). Jeffrey: Ignore that previous
mail please, and sorry.
