ld tests hang on older arm-linux hosts

- Subject: ld tests hang on older arm-linux hosts
The new init-array family of tests are spinning for ever on some older
arm-linux platforms (where there appears to be a bug in ld-linux.so).
The test framework executes a generated test using
catch "exec $binfile > $binfile.out" exec_output
but this doesn't take a timeout, so if the executable doesn't terminate
the testsuite just hangs. I think it needs to use the remote_exec (or
local_exec) proc in dejagnu's remote.exp framework file which can take a
timeout, but my expect knowledge is limited and I've been unsuccessful
in producing a viable patch.
Can somebody lend a hand here?
