sourcebuild.texi (Testsuites): Fix markup.
2010-03-16 Rainer Orth <ro@CeBiTec.Uni-Bielefeld.DE> * doc/sourcebuild.texi (Testsuites): Fix markup. Use pathnames relative to gcc/testsuite. (Test Directives): Move description of how timeout is determined. (Ada Tests): Favor gnat.exp over ada/acats/tests/gcc. (C Tests): Correct gcc.misc-tests directory. Framework tests now live in gcc.test-framework. From-SVN: r157491
