Ah, that's what I did:

  molly:[src]$ echo $DEJAGNU
  /home/gary/work/gdb/dejagnu/my-dejagnu.exp
  molly:[src]$ ls -lR /home/gary/work/gdb/dejagnu
  /home/gary/work/gdb/dejagnu:

With that I get a load of SVR4:FAIL and no SVR4:PASS.

I also see "warning: Can not parse XML target description; XML support
was disabled at compile time", is that something to do with it?  Is
there some -devel package I'm missing?

Thanks,
Gary
