Re: recent dejagnu changes

[Jimmy Guo <guo@cup.hp.com>]

I will submit a patch retaining the *dir_to_run change, and let Geoff try
it in GCC testing to make sure it works.

The solution to support both existing GCC and GDB test trees would be to
eliminate ${test_top_dirs} entries with common path prefix after
${srcdir} (keeping the parent only).  I will cook up a separate patch for
this.
