openSUSE Base periodic tester

This is a setup regularly compiling a base set of packages of a typical Linux distribution using the GCC mainline compiler. Tracked are individual file compile-time, compile-time peak memory usage and resulting object file size.

Changes:

• 2007-06-13: Updated glibc installed in build root to version 2.6
• 2007-07-10: Applied a patch to rpm to fix the unused function warning
• 2007-10-01: Applied a patch to binutils to fix compile problems of two testcases
• 2009-01-12: Updated flex source to version 2.5.35 with a patch to fix the C++ testsuite problems

Build status. Known issues are:

• perl has a testsuite failure that relates to the build setup
• tcl has testsuite failures (not analyzed)
• libtool uses obsolete headers in its testsuite and thus fails
