I recall seeing somewhere that the testsuite programs should come in
a variety of styles, because gcc and gdb should work on all legal
programs, not just those written to the GNU coding standards.
I don't have a reference though.
I completely agree with MichaelS about the other issue (target specific
tests for what to expect). It's like autoconf -- I like to be blind to
the target and just expect the union of all legal behavior.
