Automake should support adding to DejaGnu site.exp |

Currently, Automake doesn't support adding package-specific content to
the site.exp file generated for DejaGnu testsuites. In GCC alone, three
testsuites need that facility and have to override the
Automake-generated target wholesale to achieve what they need:
boehm-gc/testsuite/Makefile.am
libjava/testsuite/Makefile.am
libstdc++-v3/testsuite/Makefile.am
These Makefile.am's carry the following comment:
# We need more things in site.exp, but automake completely controls the
# creation of that file; there's no way to append to it without messing up
# the dependancy chains. So we overrule automake. This rule is exactly
# what it would have generated, plus our own additions.
Since in the future it is easily possible that the target/commands
generated by Automake deviate from what is currently emitted there,
there should be a Automake facility to directly support adding to the
generated site.exp.
Thanks.

I've added the NEWS entry below, and pushed. I'm thus closing this bug
