            Bug ID: 123131
           Summary: Test names include build directory paths
           Product: gcc
           Version: 16.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: algol68
          Assignee: algol68 at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: ro at gcc dot gnu.org
  Target Milestone: ---

I noticed that several hundred algol68 tests include the absolute path to the
build directory in their test names, like

PASS: algol68/compile/modules/program-proc-arg-order-1.a68 -I
/var/gcc/regression/master/11.4-gcc/build/gcc/testsuite/algol684   -O2  (test
for excess errors)

This is considered a no-no because it makes comparing test results difficult.
Besides, in this particular case the -I <path> part conveys no additional 
information about the test.
