You probably want to look at
<http://people.redhat.com/geoffk/gcc-regression/>.  It contains a
complete high-level description of what the tester does.

At present, there are good reasons (most notably, not wanting to
deluge people with mail; but also load on the CVS server) for having
only one regression tester.  However, if you have a sufficiently fast
machine you can dedicate to it, I'd be happy to set it up to also run
tests on that machine.  In this context, 'sufficiently fast' means
that it can build GCC (in whatever way it should be tested, which
probably means 'configure && make bootstrap && make check') in less
than, say, 2 hours 45 minutes.  It might be necessary to occasionally
provide another machine to help people (without sparc machines) debug
any problems that it finds; there's no point reporting problems that
people can't fix.

If you just wanted to run, say, overnight testing, I've just put some
scripts that will help in doing so in CVS (see my other message).
