This is not tree-ssa-specific; it's good practice for mainline as well.
(But you should compare all .sum files, not just those directly in
gcc/testsuite/. For mainline this currently is
$target/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/libstdc++.sum
$target/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/libstdc++-abi.sum
$target/libjava/testsuite/libjava.sum
$target/libffi/testsuite/libffi.sum
gcc/testsuite/ada/acats/acats.sum
gcc/testsuite/g++.sum
gcc/testsuite/g77.sum
gcc/testsuite/objc.sum
gcc/testsuite/gcc.sum
)
