After rebuilding gcc, I wanted to at least run some minimal tests on
it, so I went into the tests directory and ran "makeall.bat".  All
seemed to go well until the "libclink" directory.  There are a few
errors I can see:

1.  "gcc" is used to compile *.cc source without the gxx options, and
compile errors result due to no libg++ includes available.

2.  The following error is fairly self-explanatory:

make.exe: *** No rule to make target `/v1/lib/libc.a', needed by
`oldlibc.arm'.

Obviously, those who have only downloaded v2 do not have a
"/v1/lib/libc.a" or "/v1/lib/libpc.a" or "/v1/lib/libm.a", all of
which are needed to make "oldlibc.arm".

3.  There do not seem to be any test executions of the .exe files that
are built in the test subdirectories, nor sample output nor
instructions for running them manually.

Q1:  Is the compare of "newlibc.arm" and "oldlibc.arm" significant or
necessary to the tests?

Q2:  Is the success in building the .exe files test enough, or is
there more that should be done to confirm correct operation?

TIA for any help or info you can provide.

Below is the diff for the tests/libclink/makefile that corrects these
problems.
