I don't have access to hpux, and don't know it very well, so I may not 
be able to help much, but I can make a few suggestions.

The testsuite already sets SHLIB_PATH.  See gcc/testsuite/lib/g77.exp 
for instance.  So it should be finding the libraries itself, without 
your help.

You can debug testsuite problems by adding -v options.  The more -v 
options you add, the more output you get.  E.g.
	make check RUNTESTFLAGS="-v -v -v -v"

We normally run the testsuites in the build directories, though this is 
strictly speaking not the best approach, as it is better to test what 
was installed.  Anyways, we normally do something like
	cd build
	../gcc/configure
	make bootstrap
	make -k check

If you are trying to test the installed toolchain instead of the just 
built one, then there could be a bug in the testsuites that prevent this 
from working.  Maybe the testsuite setting of SHLIB_PATH is overriding 
yours, preventing us from finding the installed copies?

Gcc builds itself with itself as part of the normal "make bootstrap" 
build command.  So it isn't necessary to build gcc twice.
