I'm not sure I understand your idea.  You want to have a static counter 
and just increment it each time you print a testsuite result?  Well, 
this would violate the idea that the test case names are long term 
stable.  If it were reinitialized to 1 for each testsuite, and bumped 
for each printed line, that might work:

bug1.c-1
bug1.c-2
bug1.c-3
bug2.c-1
bug3.c-1

but this is way worse than just mangling in the CFLAGS variable:

bug1.c -O0
bug1.c -O1
bug1.c -O2
bug2.c
bug3.c

which is the existing practice.
