CodeSourcery wrote one called qmtest, but there apparently hasn't been 
any work done on it in a while.  Joseph Myers indirectly referred to it. 
  You can find a copy here

It used to be possible to run the gcc testsuite using qmtest, but I 
don't know the current status.  I do see that there is still a 
qmtest-g++ makefile rule for running the G++ testsuite via qmtest 
though.  You could try that and see if it still works.

There is so much stuff that depends on dejagnu that replacing it will be 
difficult.
