[CS-FSLUG] off topic? gcc help

[Tim Young]

  Well, I think you may get a number of different answers to your 
question.  I think there are a number of ways to go from here, and 
different ways to do it.

runtest assumes that you already have a number of tests all set up 
and ready to go.  If so, you will need to know the directories where 
those tests are, etc.  So a question: Have you been given a number of 
tests to run?

If you have not been given tests, do you have much information about 
how thoroughly you need to test the gcc compiler?  If all you need is 
to know that it can compile something very simple, then we just need 
to give you some simple C code and have you compile a "Hello World".

If none of these make sense, can you just ramble a bit more about 
what you need to do with gcc?  Is this for a class?  What platform 
are you doing this on?  Is there an end goal, like needing to compile 
a program that already exists?
