Severity: wishlist

The recheck feature is useful on a broader scale.  recheck should be
renamed to recheck-TESTS, and the recheck target depend on that.
There should be a recheck-DEJAGNU (also depended on by recheck if
dejagnu is used) that implements similar functionality.

See here for some implementation details:
<http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2010-10/msg00825.html>

Cheers,
Ralf
