[PATCH 0/6] Merge 'experimental/compilers-for-testsuite' into master

[Stefano Lattarini]

I think this series is now polished enough to be merged from the branch
'experimental/compilers-for-testsuite' into master proper.  Some
improvements are still possible and advisable (for example, looking for
gcc, g++ etc. at configure time rather than at testsuite time, which
should make testing in cross-compile mode smoother; or an ever safer
handling of CFLAGS, FFLAGS etc. variables); but the changes so far are
already worthwhile as they are IMHO, amd should help enhancing coverage.

So, any objection to the merge?  Otherwise, I'll proceed 48 hours.

Thanks,
  Stefano
