the only files i see using TIMEOUT directly:
- malloc/tst-malloc-thread-exit.c:
  - defines TIMEOUT to 7
  - runs the test for (TIMEOUT - 2) seconds
- nptl/tst-rwlock9.c
  - defines TIMEOUT to 1000000
  - uses define to set some structs
  - undefines TIMEOUT and resets it to 30 before including test-skeleton

the first test is the only one i can see where we don't want to use a
higher timeout, so i'll add a comment above the define and leave it be.
the second one looks like bogus re-use of the TIMEOUT name.

what other tests were you looking at ?
