No. It's a plaything for the maintainers, who are assumed to be running
linux or solaris.
That's why 'make check' defaults to the dejagnu harness, which is "portable."
I'm also not quite sure how do testing for the shared libraries now that
libtool's been ditched. At the moment, I can't figure out what g++ does,
and am not sure how to do the --rpath thing in a portable manner, so that libstdc++.so is
found across all platforms and linkers.
Suggestions welcome...

The dejagnu testsuite only tests static builds right now. What's your error?
