Hi Ben, 
Thanks for the quick reply.

Could you give me some pointers on this? Is there any document explaining this 
case?

I will try to reuse the GCC testsuite infrastructure. 

I don't understand why this doesn't execute gcc to compile the source files
And why even puts doesn't show any message while simple.exp executes.

foreach test [lsort [glob -nocomplain ./*.c]] {
            if {[catch {exec gcc -c $test} errmsg ]} {
                        puts "FAIL: $errmsg"
                } else {
                        puts "PASS: Compilation passed for $test"
               }
}

Any pointers would be helpful.

Regards
Usha Gupta
