Mea culpa.

Actually, I started out modifying testsuite_flags.in, and then thought it
should go in aclocal.  If you think otherwise, I'll happily move it back.

For most tests, I agree.  But we should also be able to test backward
compatibility.  And the installed compiler includes the backward headers,
so running it out of the build tree should too.

I use the compiler out of the build tree as my usual compiler, and use
testsuite_flags to provide the invocation flags.  I would like it to behave
like the installed compiler.
