You can append "set_board_info gcc,timeout 5400" to the end of your board file, by default /usr/share/dejagnu/baseboards/unix.exp. I think you may need one such line for each set of tests whose timeout you want to increase, e.g. gcc, g++, gfortran, libgomp, etc. It should be possible to do this without editing dejagnu files via the $HOME/.dejagnurc but I haven't found the right incantation for that. There's some more info at: <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2006-09/msg00155.html> There's another problem in that some testsuites override the default timeout. For example in testsuite/lib/libstdc++.exp you will see it set to 600. This is PR28870: <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28870>, which appears to have a patch pending: <http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2008-03/msg00267.html>. Until that gets cleared up I think you'll have to just modify libstdc++.exp if you need it larger. Brian
