libstdc++ definitely works with installed testing (there may be a bug or
two, e.g. PR 23867, that mean a few tests don't get run that way); it's
how Mentor's testing works.
That is however installed testing with a complete source tree available
(but not a build tree); I don't know exactly what is needed from outside
the testsuite/ directory (but see
libstdc++-v3/testsuite/lib/libstdc++.exp:libstdc++_init for what happens
during the testsuite setup).
C, C++, Fortran, Obj-C and Obj-C++ testing have been known to work in the
past for installed testing. Java, Ada and Go are quite likely to have
problems; I don't think I've tried installed testing for libmudflap,
libffi, libitm, libatomic (but it should work for libgomp).
