To test well, you need to be able to compile and run code.  So, the question 
is, can you do that, or not?  If you can, then you have what you need to test.  
If you cannot do that, then you cannot test well.  If you can compile, then you 
can test the compile time tests, but you'll miss out on all runtime tests.

Well, I know that I need to be able to compile and run code. I would guess (/hope) that the testsuite is automated though, but I can't use that if I need to use my own custom buildscripts in order to generate executables (can I?). Furthermore, I looked in those files (gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/c99-stdint* - are these correct?) and I can't find any entry point.

If it helps, I can compile/run code. I know that the original fixincludes patches I had compiled and ran code as well - I built my project and successfully ran it. The problem is I don't exactly know the method. Also, my classes have finished so I no longer have access to a target :-/
