PATCH for faq.html

[Mark Mitchell]

Here's FAQ entry I promised when I asked how to run the testsuite with
special options (like -fnew-abi).

Thanks to Jason Merrill and Robert Lipe for providing the answers; I
served only as typist.

Jeff, may I check this in?

  <h2><a name="octave">Octave does not compile</a></h2>
  <p>Apparently Octave uses some C++ features which have been obsoleted.  This
  <a href= http://www.che.wisc.edu/octave/mailing-lists/bug-octave/1998/270 > patch to Octave</a> should fix the compilation problems.

+ <p>If you invoke <code>runtest</code> directly, you can use the
+ <code>--tool_opts</code> option, e.g:
+ <pre>
+   runtest --tool_opts "-fnew-abi -fno-honor-std" <other options>
+ </pre>
+ Or, if you use <code>make check</code> you can use the
+ <code>make</code> variable <code>RUNTESTFLAGS</code>, e.g:
+ <pre>
+   make RUNTESTFLAGS='--tool_opts "-fnew-abi -fno-honor-std"' check-g++
+ </pre>
