There is a test_installed script in contrib but I haven't had much 
luck with getting it to work in the past.  Looking at it again,
I see that my core problem is still there.  There is no way to set
the --target_board option. But today might just be my lucky day.  I
think I just managed to add that argument to test_installed.  Hopefully
it will work and I can report some results on the actual RPMS. :)

The simulators required to run it are included in the cross-gdb RPMS I
built.

Great.  I will work on generating gcc test results on the actual
RPM binaries.

I love free software. :)

OK.
