This is unrelated as I can run multiple testsuites at once on the same host
from unrelated GDB source-trees/build/trees.

Besides that I do use FORCE_PARALLEL:
	http://git.jankratochvil.net/?p=nethome.git;a=blob;f=bin/hammock

I even run all testsuites twice at the same time - for i686 and x86_64
although I run them in different chroots so this issue would not matter.
But I could run the i686 build even on x86_64 just compiling everything
with -m32 (which I also do).

Yes.  There may be other options (such as using something PID-based etc.) but
I find the absolute pathname probably the best one.
