I think this series is now polished enough to be merged from the branch 'experimental/compilers-for-testsuite' into master proper. Some improvements are still possible and advisable (for example, looking for gcc, g++ etc. at configure time rather than at testsuite time, which should make testing in cross-compile mode smoother; or an ever safer handling of CFLAGS, FFLAGS etc. variables); but the changes so far are already worthwhile as they are IMHO, amd should help enhancing coverage.
So, any objection to the merge? Otherwise, I'll proceed 48 hours.
