gcc 3.4.0 testsuit gives over 5000 g++ errors

[Paul C. Leopardi]

Hi all,
I've run the gcc test suite for the first time today, for gcc 3.4.0.
See http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2004-05/msg00080.html
There were over 5000 g++ errors. With this many errors, I must have configured 
something wrong. Where do I start in diagnosing the problem?

Usually the root cause of this sort of catastrophic error turns out to be that 
I didn't read something crucial in the documentation, that I interpreted the 
documentation differently from the author's intent, or that the author 
assumed something which does not apply to me (like how much I know).

So which was it?
Thanks

Double-check your dejagnu, tcl and expect versions. Unfortunately, I
    can't find the required versions in the docs. :-(

I have expect 5.38, tcl 8.3, and dejagnu 1.4.3 installed, and I had
    no difficulties running the 3.4.0 testsuite on fbsd5.2 .

The odd thing which strikes me is that you have 5000+ C++ failures,
    but 2647 libstdc++ successes. If g++ can compile libstdc++ & test
    cases correctly, why does it fail nearly all C++ core tests? I
    don't know.
