    Hi Kazu,

  I found this

    if [board_info $dest exists sim_time_limit] {
 set sim_time_limit [board_info $dest sim_time_limit];
    } else {
 set sim_time_limit 240
    }

in /usr/local/share/dejagnu/config/sim.exp.  So it might work if you try
setting that variable in your board info instead.  I assume (but could
easily be wrong) that the gcc timeout only applies to compilations performed
by the test harness.
