I'd suggest to await the conclusion of the debate: I *think* 
I've proved that dg-timeout-factor is already active as intended 
(all parts of a test), specifically when the compilation result 
is executed (for the applicable tests).  Notably, modulo bugs in 
the test-suites.

Of course, it may be useful to separate different timeouts of 
separable parts of a test - compilation and execution being the 
topic at hand.  But IMHO, YAGNI.  Having said that, don't let 
that stand in the way of a fun hack!
