No problem, thanks continue for it.

I'm also not sure if we should put them into separate testcases/ directory.
I'd put them into shell/ directory and rename test_sh_newlib.sh to run.sh or
something simple.

BTW (nit, no hard feeling :) as lib/newlib_tests/test.*.sh are based on my
previous work, you could might mention it in the change log. You updated them to
have timeout output, so it's your work, (if not, it'd be better to send them as
mine separate

Kind regards,
Petr
