While doing some testing and trying to run multiple versions of the GCC testsuite (big-endian, little-endian, etc) I looked at the example at http://gcc.gnu.org/install/test.html and thought I could run multiple versions by using multiple --target_board flags in RUNTESTFLAGS. It turns out this does not work and what you want to do is use one target_board flag with a space seperated list of boardnames/options.
This patch changes the example to make that more clear. OK to checkin?
