Yes.  I've jused dejagnu for the GCC testsuite on OpenServer for years.

I don't know how old my dejagnu is, but it's older than that.  I don't
recall the build being eventful.  My runtest has a date of October 1998.

$ runtest --version
WARNING: Couldn't find the global config file.
Expect version is       5.26
Tcl version is          8.0
Framework version is    1.3.0

The terms of death would be helpful to know.

I do think I recall that not working well in the past.  It seemed that
no two versions of tcl were compatible enough so it was worth it to
me to make the tradeoff of build time vs. grief to use the integrated
versions.

Those are warnings, not errors.   Mine displays the first.

On mine, site.exp is mechanically generated in $objdir/gcc/.  It
contains things like the correct -I and -L incantations to do the
testsuite run from the locally installed directory.
