We're running the test suite.  If gdb_compile does not work,
or the resulting executables cannot be run, then the test script
cannot run its tests anyways.

Which would mean that a GCC code-gen bug in malloc, or printf would block all ability to run the testsuite :-( We need to avoid making the testsuite fragile.
