Building testsuite support files from make is a bad idea; a key advantage 
of using DejaGnu is that you can test an installed toolchain by creating a 
suitable site.exp and using "runtest --tool whatever" without needing a 
build tree for a particular toolchain component at all, and building 
support files other than from the .exp files causes problems for that.
