I was thinking more of integration tests, such as the work you are doing
with ARMCI-MPI.  We test compilers not just by their test suite, but
also by whether they can correctly build large projects without needing
workarounds.  Every large MPI-based project I'm aware of contains
workarounds for MPI implementation bugs that have been encountered over
the years.
