Currently, Automake doesn't support adding package-specific content to the site.exp file generated for DejaGnu testsuites. In GCC alone, three testsuites need that facility and have to override the Automake-generated target wholesale to achieve what they need:
boehm-gc/testsuite/Makefile.am libjava/testsuite/Makefile.am libstdc++-v3/testsuite/Makefile.am These Makefile.am's carry the following comment: # We need more things in site.exp, but automake completely controls the # creation of that file; there's no way to append to it without messing up # the dependancy chains. So we overrule automake. This rule is exactly # what it would have generated, plus our own additions. Since in the future it is easily possible that the target/commands generated by Automake deviate from what is currently emitted there, there should be a Automake facility to directly support adding to the generated site.exp.
