Thanks for tracing the difference.  I'll dig into this.  Could I ask
you to look at config.log from:

to understand 1. why it thought the compiler is broken, and 2. if in
your opinion it was right thinking so.

| 
| Options:
|   -h  Display this help message and the description of TESTS
|   -e  Abort the full suite and inhibit normal clean up if a test fails
|   -v  Force more detailed output, default for debugging scripts
|   -x  Have the shell to trace command execution

Thanks, will document it.  It prevents the creation of the debug
scripts, and prevents the removal of the files created by the test.
That's why debug-N.sh is more or less equal to `./testsuite -d -v N'
(yet to avoid that it recreate itself :).
