gcc: Don't mess with test-suite exclusion
We used to exclude GCC's test-suite for quite some time now
mostly for the sake of space reduction.
But:
1. On each GCC version bump we need to revise that functionality
as we need to accommodate changes in GCC sources and this
couldn't be automated
2. The space reduction is significant, but not huge. The two test
suites together take up 290MB, out of 660MB total for GCC (each of
them times two because there is the -initial and -final copy).
However, whenever we build GCC, we also have kernel headers (about
900MB) and a libc (e.g. glibc is 250MB). So at best, it saves less
than 20%.
3. It doesn't really save on build time either.
Below are timings of 2 runs on my laptop:
a) Vanilla master:
--------------------->8---------------------
time make host-gcc-final
real 7m15.114s
user 19m36.611s
sys 2m26.927s
--------------------->8---------------------
b) master + testsuite:
--------------------->8---------------------
time make host-gcc-final
real 7m59.860s
user 20m21.668s
sys 2m36.618s
--------------------->8---------------------
From figures above it's seen that difference is ~45 seconds
or ~10%. On both host-gcc-initial and -final we may save ~1.5
minutes... but these are not the only components we build and
compared to a total toolchain build time IMHO it is not that
much time to care especially traded for maintenance costs
on GCC version bumps.
