Make sure you can login from the i386-linux host using rsh or ssh to the
real devices without entering passwords.

add TEST_SSH=<ip/name of device> for ssh or TEST_RSH=<ip/name> for rsh.

if disk space is limited add TEST_DELTEMP=1 to remove the tests after
execution.

add TEST_REMOTEPATH=<dir on the device> if you want to put the executables
in a different dir on the remote device than the home dir. Note: Make sure
the dir exists on the real device.

Example:

make TEST_FPC=/usr/local/lib/fpc/2.0.4/ppcarm
TEST_BINUTILSPREFIX=arm-linux- TEST_SSH=peter at arm-linux-device-name
TEST_DELTEMP=1 TEST_REMOTEPATH=/home/peter/tmp

For "documentation" see tests/Makefile.fpc for possible options like the
above.
