OK. Jakub so what kind of method you are using to recognise that something
is wrong with gcc/gdb/binutils if none of those packages test suites seems
may exit with non-zero exit code and some failures are perfectly OK?
(Or maybe logic of the suite should be negated?)
Do you have some sort of script/tool extracting results from build logs? or
it is some other method?
Syntax of the content /^==*TESTING/,/^==*TESTING END/p' looks a  bit
complicated ..
How to trace those results in more or less automated way?
