erhm... I use the unified tree for my test results. But, for this
particular test, the trick is to always use a pathnames with the same
length. The amount of output printed by the compiler exceeds some
expect/dejagnu buffer limit, so only the first many error messages are
matched, and the rest is regarded as missing output ==> failures.
