This is the same approach that I took for my QNX on ARM test runner 
NA-QNX650-SP1-ARM (except compilation is done on QNX x86). I wrote a shell 
script which gathers the files and transfers them using SSH.

error_handling_test fails on my runner too. The problem is caused by these 
lines in errors_handling_test.cpp which causes it to try to open a different 
file than the one from the command line:
#ifdef LIMITED_TEST
    pattern_file_name += "2";
#endif

One possible solution would be to pass the names of both files on the 
command line and choose between argv[1] and argv[2].

As it happens, I looked through the results the other day looking for 
failures which might be caused by files not being transferred and found 
these:
date_time/testlocal_time_facet
date_time/testtz_database
gil/image
wave/testwave
xpressive/c_traits (among others?)

gil/image didn't pass the file name on the command line. I have a patch that 
I plan to submit this weekend. I'm not sure if I'll have time to look at the 
others.
