  Actually this is more of a problem with the GCC testsuite, not DejaGnu
itself. I believe the test suite stashes the executables of test cases that
have failed for post-mortem analysis. I thought it used to put them in
the testuite directory, but it's possible things have been modifed to use /tmp
instead.
