Testsuite driver links from /tmp directory to .hi and .o files in source directory
This is a clear bug, but only shows up when the source directory is not clean. Perhaps from a validate run from before the /tmp testsuite patch. A user might also have been running some small sample programs in the source directory manually.
The testsuite driver currently matches <testname>*.
I'm not sure if a whitelist or blacklist solution is more future proof.
These are all existing filetypes in the testsuite:
$ find . -name tests | xargs dir | grep -v stderr | grep -v stdout
