I will wade back through all this tomorrow but it would be
interesting to baseline the time required to run the tests
now on avrtest or simulavr and go ahead and try to run them
on simulavrxx.  It should have all the key features for automated
testing now and the issue will be tests that pass on one of the
other simulator and fail on simulavrxx.

Eric are you the one who runs it?

If you have good instructions, I can try to add it to the RTEMS
build farm after we move.  We are setup to run only the *-rtems
targets now on simulators.
