+>The master config file is where all the target specific
+ config variables for a whole site get set. The idea is
+ that for a centralized testing lab where people have to share a
+ target between multiple developers. There are settings for both
+ remote targets and remote hosts. Here's an example of a Master
+ Config File (also called the Global config file) for a
+ <I
+CLASS="EMPHASIS"
+>canadian cross</I
+>. A canadian cross is when
+ you build and test a cross compiler on a machine other than the
+ one it's to be hosted on.</P
+><P
+>Here we have the config settings for our California
+ office. Note that all config values are site dependant. Here we
+ have two sets of values that we use for testing m68k-aout cross
+ compilers. As both of these target boards has a different
+ debugging protocol, we test on both of them in sequence.</P

+>In this case, we have support for several cross compilers,
+ that all run on this host. For testing on operating systems that
+ don't support Expect, DejaGnu can be run on the local build
+ machine, and it can connect to the remote host and run all the
+ tests for this cross compiler on that host. All the remote OS
+ requires is a working telnetd.</P
+><P
+>As you can see, all one does is set the variable
+ <SPAN
+CLASS="SYMBOL"
+>target_list</SPAN
+> to the list of targets and options to
+ test. The simple settings, like for
+ <I
+CLASS="EMPHASIS"
+>sparc64-elf</I
+> only require setting the name of
+ the single board config file. The <I
+CLASS="EMPHASIS"
+>mips-elf</I
+>
+ target is more complicated. Here it sets the list to three target
+ boards. One is the default mips target, and both
+ <I
+CLASS="EMPHASIS"
+>wilma</I
+> <I
+CLASS="EMPHASIS"
+>barney</I
+> are
+ symbolic names for other mips boards. Symbolic names are covered
+ in the <A
+HREF="x1214.html"
+>Adding A New Board</A
+> chapter. The more complicated
+ example is the one for <I
+CLASS="EMPHASIS"
+>mips-lsi-elf</I
+>. This one
+ runs the tests with multiple iterations using all possible
+ combinations of the <TT
+CLASS="OPTION"
+>--soft-float</TT
+> and the
+ <TT
+CLASS="OPTION"
+>--el</TT
+> (little endian) option. Needless to say,
+ this last feature is mostly compiler specific.</P
