Hi Renato,

It’s a non-technical concern, but please keep in mind that the GCC testsuite is GPL licensed.  You’re effectively discussing a fork of their testsuite (to which I think that there are a number of technical challenges) but before actually landing it, we’d want to carefully discuss whether it is included as part of the LLVM project.  If you want to pursue this, doing this on github (or some similar service) would be a better place to get started.
