In my experience, test_summary does the wrong thing if you build and
test a unified source tree, for example, I run it on a unified arm-elf
tree and the subject line comes out as:

Results for 6.3.50.20050330-cvs -nx testsuite on arm-unknown-elf

This number seems to come from one of the other packages in the source
tree (gdb?).  It certainly only changes when I update my binutils/gdb
sources, not when I update my gcc sources.

It would be good to get this fixed properly, but I was never much of a
shell wizard.
