I've been testing egcs using dejagnu framework for a while now, so it
does work at least somewhat. What doesn't work is the cygwin version of
expect (it doesn't support ``spawn -open'' or ``spawn -leaveopen'' for
example), so I have to use Gordon Chaffee's NT version.

Very sensitive the dejagnu framework version, and a bit sensitive to the
expect version as well unfortunately. 

For an example test run result, see
