gcc test-suite takes over 24h on every update

I'm having quite the same iusse as described here[0].

Alas I have no idea how to disable tests by reading the manpage of makepkg.conf. Grepping the manpage for 'test' returns nil.

So how can I disable those tests entirely?

Do you mean check() function in PKGBUILD?

man 5 makepkg.conf:

BUILDENV=(!distcc !color !ccache check !sign)
...
check
Run the check() function if present in the PKGBUILD. This can be enabled or disabled for individual packages through the use of makepkg’s --check and --nocheck options, respectively.

I highly recommend you build those test even if they take a long time.  Or at least keep the old version around.  Having a broken compiler prevents building a new compiler!

… or ends up building broken binaries that crash for weird reasons you don't understand.
("Fixing" gcc is actually easy by installing the repo version)
