How do I run dejagnu's runtest with other timeout value for specific tests in gcc's testsuite?

[Christian Jönsson <christian at j-son dot org>]

I might sound a bit stupid here but hey, I'll take the chance then...

How do you run the testsuite, let's say a specific test, with a
timeout that's not the default, i.e., the value set in the dejagnu
files?

I'm thnking of something like this:

make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS="gcc.c-torture/compile.exp=20001226-1* other-options"

can I for example set timeout = 600  somehow as other-options?

Tha problem is that I get timeouts like this:

		=== gcc tests ===


Running target unix
WARNING: program timed out.
FAIL: gcc.c-torture/compile/20001226-1.c,  -O1  
WARNING: program timed out.

that I would like to see if they are due to my system being too old or
if it's simply not ever coming to a halt...

>From the log file, I see the following:

etc.
