It seems a lot of the tests assume gcc and so throw gcc-specific options at the compiler. It seems the approach with least effort would be to point dejagnu at a wrapper which translates gcc options into ones the other compiler understands... Testsuite should be able to work with any compiler, athough in practice GCCisms sneak in from to time. Note however that there is an implicit expectation that the compiler accepts a basic list of options common to Unix compilers, such as -g, -o, etc. -l would be in that category, though not necessarily the list of libraries, and maybe -w, not sure about that. If you wanted to generalize the testsuite though, that would be a good thing. Stan
