[Bug libgcj/13055] New: jacks tests must detect gcc ICE

[tromey at gcc dot gnu dot org]

Currently the jacks test suite doesn't detect a gcc ICE.
We are getting some spurious PASS results due to this.

Jacks will detect core dumps; we could run with -dH (or whatever
it is).  This isn't perfect though.

A Jacks developer suggested a wrapper script which detects
and ICE and creates a file named "core".  The jacks test driver
understands this.

Another approach would be to modify jacks to have a regexp to
compare against the compiler output, so it can look for ICEs
directly.  It was unclear whether the jacks developers would
check this in.
