i'm not sure that these need to be toolchain specific?  ie, just a
test that (if MKPROFILE != no) compiles something -pthread -pg and
then tries to run it (just a hello would be fine.)  for multiple
cases, perhaps a series of flags and a hello.c?

... or am i missing what you mean?

(a much larger issue, IMO, would be getting the gcc testsuite
itself run here some how...but i'm not sure how to do that..)
