In Go 1.4 the "go test" command uses the new function testing.MainStart. That function will be normally brought into libgo when we upgrade it to the 1.4 library. However, for convenience for people using gccgo with the Go 1.4 gc release, I've committed this patch to bring it into gccgo now. Bootstrapped and ran Go testsuite on x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu. Committed to mainline.
