Hi Paul,

The file name prefix 'tst-' bothers me a bit, because
* It is inconsistent with the prefix 'test-' that we've been using
since 2003.
* It causes more typing, because the autocompletion t<TAB> → test
no longer works (both in the source directory and in a builddir's
gltests/ directory).
I would propose to rename the files to 'test-*' in Gnulib. They are
not likely to be modified frequently in glibc, therefore the gnulib <--> glibc
merge effort is likely zero. And annotate the mapping in config/srclist.txt
accordingly.
If you have objections to that, I would instead
- move the tst-* files to a subdirectory, say from-glibc/,
- change the module descriptions so that
tests/from-glibc/tst-stdc_trailing_zeros.c
is compiled to an executable named
${tests_prefix}/test-stdc_trailing_zeros${EXEEXT}.
So that the autocompletion again works.
