It is a source-only package.  There is no binary.  This is the same
testsuite that is a standard part of the gcc source which gets run when
you "make check" from a full tree.  To run it on an installed compiler I
think you will have to mess around with a custom site.exp dejagnu file,
or try the contrib/test_installed script from the current tree.  At any
rate, this package is of no use unless you're already familiar with gcc
development to some degree.
