Yep, Gerald (CC'd) does:
http://gcc.gnu.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/wwwdocs/htdocs/gcc-4.6/buildstat.html

Gerald, I'm happy to update it with Dennis's results if that's OK with you?

Absolutely, you are more than welcome to update this at any time.

(Assuming this does not cause any troubles for Tom and his scripts,
since he is really doing a great job about it and we don't want to
make this more complicated for him.)

Thanks for the new one, and sorry, I've got no idea how I could have
missed the previous one.  My bad.

It's not a problem.
Since you usually pick up my patches quickly I rarely have any 
outstanding changes that CVS could mess up with a merge.

If you plan on going down this route, please use (simple) CSS.  Should
not be fance, really, but CSS is a lot better maintainable than hard-
coding colors etc.

I was thinking along the lines of a colour coded section approach where
each OS variation was in a separate section and then architecture
variations were also available.

The best thing for me to do .. is to just do it and then say "look at
this, what do you think?" but keep it dirt simple, basic HTML4.01 and no
fancy CSS at all. It must be perfect in links/elinks/lynx also.

The second column was previously used for comments and host triplets 
where prefixed with 'host'. Since I did not intend to use it for 
comments as was done in the past I neglected to follow the previously 
established convention of prefixing with 'host'.
If it would clear things up I'd be happy to add that back in.

Are there column headings ?

If you'd actually look at the testresults for this entry (and buildstat 
pages for previous releases) then you'd know that the second column is 
used for the host when it differs from the target.

In this case the target arm-unknown-rtemseabi4.11 was built on a 
x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu host.

So there is no error here, and no edit is needed.

Thanks, I'll fix that either this evening or tomorrow, if noone beats me to it.

  ha, yes. Well I was thinking of a clean looking table .. nothing more.

cool.

 However .. there is a small error in one of the rows.

this section :

<tr>
<td>arm-unknown-rtemseabi4.11</td>
<td>x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu</td>

<td>Test results:
<a
href="http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2011-10/msg03523.html">4.6.2</a>,
<a
href="http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2011-10/msg03108.html">4.6.2</a>
</td>
</tr>


Should be :

<tr>
<td>arm-unknown-rtemseabi4.11</td>
<td>&nbsp;</td>
<td>Test results:
<a
href="http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2011-10/msg03523.html">4.6.2</a>,
<a
href="http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2011-10/msg03108.html">4.6.2</a>
</td>
</tr>


However I would do it very differently.

Put whatever you want on your sites :-)

What do you mean redo it from top to bottom?
I don't think we want to change the format much, and updating the main
page will be easiest with a patch against the current one.  The page
is kept in the old CVS repo:
http://gcc.gnu.org/cvs.html

oops ... there is an error on the page, right where we see
arm-unknown-rtemseabi4.11 there is a "x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu" stuck in
the next column.

Mind if I redo this page entirely from top to bottom and provide a
prototype that all can see on one of my sites?  If this is okay .. then
maybe we can update the main page.

Well awesome. Thank you so much. However, eek, there are a few results
there from me that should be stricken only because they have a multitude
of problems. While it did take weeks of work I found out late in the game
that "go" was not supported on Solaris and only exists in the mainline. So
this guy here is valid :

http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2011-11/msg01044.html

The others, while valid, show intermediate work that should be stricken
from the "buildstat" page.

Want a patch ?

Also, I will be submitting results across the entire Solaris line as well
as Debian on PowerPC and, possibly, Debian on DEC Alpha. Maybe DEC Alpha.
That is a job I have wanted to tackle for years and I have a large DEC
Alpha server sitting in my server room.

I am working on Solaris 8 x86, 32-bit as well as 64-bit Solaris 10 and I
have PowerPC Debian linux cooking. Until I see respectable results I will
keep quiet. However, to me, GCC is the penultimate open source project
that gives rise to all others. It must be tested, handled carefully and
respected. Thus, I work night and day on every new release to get good
results. Call me a geek but I love a good compiler. :-)
