Fix a problem with the libffi testsuite using a method to determine the compiler to use resulting in the tool being different from one the library has been built with, and causing a catastrophic failure from the inability to actually choose any compiler at all in a cross-compilation configuration.
Address this problem by providing a DejaGNU configuration file defining the compiler to use, via the CC_FOR_TARGET TCL variable, set from $CC by autoconf, which will have all the required options set for the target compiler to build executables in the environment configured, removing failures like: FAIL: libffi.call/closure_fn0.c -W -Wall -Wno-psabi -O0 (test for excess errors) Excess errors: default_target_compile: No compiler to compile with UNRESOLVED: libffi.call/closure_fn0.c -W -Wall -Wno-psabi -O0 compilation failed to produce executable and bringing overall test results for the `riscv64-linux-gnu' target (here with the `x86_64-linux-gnu' host and RISC-V QEMU in the Linux user emulation mode as the target board) from: === libffi Summary === # of unexpected failures 708 # of unresolved testcases 708 # of unsupported tests 30 to: === libffi Summary === # of expected passes 1934 # of unsupported tests 28 libffi/ * configure.ac: Add testsuite/local.exp to output files. * configure: Regenerate. * testsuite/local.exp.in: New file. * testsuite/Makefile.am (EXTRA_DEJAGNU_SITE_CONFIG): New variable. * testsuite/Makefile.in: Regenerate. --- This is a backport of upstream libffi change as recorded here: <https://sourceware.org/pipermail/libffi-discuss/2020/002503.html>.
