[Bug testsuite/42414] New: arbitrary path modification by a sed statement breaks testsuite if testsuite is in the absolute path

[jonathan at kc8onw dot net]

gcc/Makefile.in contains the line
        sed '/set tmpdir/ s|testsuite|$(TESTSUITEDIR)/$*|' \
                < ../../site.exp > tmp-site.exp; \
which caused a large number of test failures because I had the testsuite in a
path that included the word "testsuite" which was erroneously expanded. 
Because of this the testsuite referenced a lot of invalid paths causing a ton
of failures.
