Since then the parallelization has been changed, since 2014 all the instances run the same set of tests and communicate together which one picks which test, see http://gcc.gnu.org/r215273 . So, I don't really see what would help you replacing the testsuite framework, moreover, we have like 400k tests now and many of them use simpler or more complicated tcl expressions in them, including almost 2.5MB of pure tcl code. Replacing it with something different and incompatible is lots of work, especially when all you want is work around a bug in some broken OS. Jakub
