Hi Andrey,
Sorry for the delay in responding to this email. I am not an expert
on dejagnu and I was hoping that someone else would answer...

Right - this happens for me too.

No, I think that it is a dejagnu problem. I can reproduce the failure
without using the binutils make system at all:
$ cd <bbinutils-build-dir>/binutils
% runtest --tool binutils --srcdir <path-to-binutils-testsuite> --all --xml
[...]
couldn't open "<path-to-binutils-testsuite>": illegal operation on a directory
while executing
"open [file join $outdir $xml_file_name] w"
I think that the code to handle --xml without a filename argument is broken
and it is picking the first pathname like argument that it finds on the command
line. (This is just a guess).
So - please do report the problem to DejaGnu.
Cheers
Nick
