For what it's worth, I think my testbed is agnostic about this issue.
So whatever works for David C is okay by me.

When I test, I do something like this (but in Perl not sh):

  # make a new temporary directory
  rm -rf test
  mkdir test
  cd test

  # copy the pristine build directory
  cp -a $dir_gdb_build/testsuite/* .

  # run the tests
  runtest --objdir ... --outdir ... --srcdir ...
