As I mentioned that is not how GCC testsuite works. (maybe it should but
currently does not).

Also about slow running of the testsuite; if you have multiple cores you can
use the -j option for `make -k check` to use all of the cores.
Yes GCC testsuite is huge and non-parallelized runs can take more than 24 hours
to run. 

Also running the GCC testsuite is not for the faint of heart. For all of the
failures you see via contrib/test_summary, you have to go and analyze each one
to see if it is a missed optimization or testing wrong code.
