>Description:
On i686-pc-cygwin, g++ testsuite executables generated by old-dejagnu.exe are never deleted - even when successful.
As a result, each testsuite run generates a few hundred megabytes of unwanted .exe files.
Root cause is that executable name does not have a suffix, so cygwin adds .exe, which dejagnu doesn't expect.
>How-To-Repeat:
Run g++ testsuite on i686-pc-cygwin
>Fix:
Patch gcc/testsuite/lib/old-dejagnu.exp to add suffix to executable filename.
