I agree.  I've been looking into ways to test compiler consistency.  I
started writing up the issues involved and possible testing approaches
(see http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2002-08/msg01251.html) and plan to turn
that into useful documentation, as well as a place to record what
testing is available.  If this is redundant with your efforts then I'd
like to know soon so I can work on something else instead.

Will your testsuite itself be available to GCC developers, or just the
results that you get by running it yourself on a limited number of
platforms?
