  I didn't write the multilib support in DejaGnu, that was added by the
GCC team. Your patch looks fine, but to be safe, I'm gonna fwd it to
the gcc-testors, and make sure there is no reason for the dehaviour you
noticed.

  The manual doesn't talk about multilib testing, because that was determined
to be pretty much a compiler specific testing feature. As DejaGnu is widely
used for way more than just testing the GNU tools, I never documented how
to do multilib testring. I think the GCC team are the only ones using that
feature.

  The official CVS repository is at the FSF, on gnu,org. The web site
is at http://www.gnu.org/software/dejagnu . I thought I had a pointer on the
Sourceforge site to the FSF site, but I'll go check.
