testsuites

This is a note for developers. To get the Binutils test suite to pass, use the specs from gcc pass1, fixing the startfile and dynamic linker path names, and add -fno-PIE to cc1 and cc1plus specs. Copy to /usr/lib/gcc/.../specs, and run the test suite. The test suite will use a vanilla gcc while
