Yes, it looks OK assuming that you want to run all torture tests
three times as much as they are currently run. That makes sense
for now in the LTO branch but won't later for mainline. Eventually
there should be a set of LTO-specific tests that are run always
and perhaps some torture tests that always use it, and others should
use the LTO options when the user asks for them, through the
environment or site.exp or .dejagnurc (we need a common convention
for stuff like that).
