I forgot to mention another option. Since I generated these tests
anyway, perhaps I could generate them in binutils instead? I used
Python, but can rewrite it to some other language if necessary. Does
binutils testing suite possess a way to generate tests? Perhaps we
could use it. This would take some time upon $(make check), but not a
critical (it's simply a bunch of nested for loops).
An obvious option would be editing some Makefile to generate the test;
if there's an option for ppc.exp to force such generation, I'd be more
than happy to do that (this'd be a better alternative).
