You need to use a board description file to enable them.
Oh damn -- I don't know where this stuff is documented.

Guys -- how do we usually initiate a new maintainer into
the mysteries of dejagnu?

Hui -- let me tell you the easy (and wrong) way to do it,
just to avoid complexity.  Copy the attached file into
/usr/share/dejagnu/baseboards (you'll need to be root).

Then add "--target_board=precord" to your RUNTESTFLAGS,
eg. like this:

   make check RUNTESTFLAGS="step-reverse.exp --target_board=precord"
