I think because it's testing a native configuration and 
runtest.exp:transform (called from libgloss.exp:find_binutils_prog) only 
uses the target- prefix for cross-compilations.  But it would probably 
make sense for DejaGnu to try the prefix first even for native 
compilations.

(The HPPA HP-UX case of trying to have both 32-bit and 64-bit tools in a 
common prefix is a somewhat peculiar case; most cases of systems 
supporting both 32-bit and 64-bit models would have a single set of tools 
supporting both and compile with -m32 or -m64 to use the non-default 
model, but in the HPPA HP-UX case 32-bit uses SOM and 64-bit uses ELF and 
this difference makes things more difficult.)
