 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..)
