I do something similar when porting packages to RTEMS but
add in modifying the path in the Score Objects Handler when
it tells you that it has no more objects. I add a printk.  That
way I know which objects need to be unlimited.

I think most of the gcc test suite configurations are unlimited
for the objects those language run-times are known to use.

But it is certainly easier to throw a single big switch.
