The testsuite requires expect, dejagnu, and TCL.  To my knowledge no one
has built a MSYS expect or dejagnu, so you'll have to use Cygwin which
has everything you need.

BTW I presume that you're going to use a remote target board for the
execute tests?  I think you do this by creating a site.exp file that
describes the board and how to telnet to it, and then dejagnu will take
care of uploading the test binary and running it remotely.  Or if you're
using a simulator I think it's roughly the same process, except you can
just do RUNTESTFLAGS=--target_board=avr-sim or whatever the simulator
target is called.  I thought there was a HOWTO on remote testing on
gcc.gnu.org but I can't find it right now.  There is a simtest HOWTO:
