Thank you, I will look info all of that.  My own resources have limits; when it
comes to testing generated code on many architectures, I will definitely need
such resources.

I will also look at the scripts after I have a bit better handle on exactly
what kinds of problems testing raise.  I was mildly surprised that changing
line numbers in headers produced differences in what is obviously generated
code.  Without having seen that buried deep in the build directory tree, I am
sure I would not appreciate any scripts that interact with that aspect of the
build process.

I am at the base of the learning curve here.  I have some climbing to do before
I will be able to make significant contributions...

'make check' on the un-patched sources in progress.  Later...
