Checking that the triplet matches arm*-*-eabi (or msp430-*-*) is not
enough to know if the execution will enter an endless loop, or if it
will give a meaningful result. As the execution test only work when
VMA and LMA are equal, make sure that this condition is met.

Looks like a nice thing to have.

Could you add an entry to doc/sourcebuild.texi too?

Maybe my Tcl is getting rusty, but I'm surprised this quoting works.
I'd have expected single backslashes to be interpreted as C-style
sequences (for \n etc) and so be eaten before regexp sees them.
Quoting with {...} instead of "..." would avoid that.

Would it be more conservative to return 1 on failure rather than 0?
That way, a faulty test would trigger XFAILs rather than UNSUPPORTEDs,
with XFAILs being more likely to get attention.

On the other hand, I suppose we don't lose much if these tests are
run on common targets only.  So either way is OK, just asking. ;-)

Thanks,
Richard

I've added a note and will be shared in a v3.

Good catch! I'm not fluent in Tcl and apparently, I was not testing this 
well enough before sending it to the list. I got the expected result for 
the test cases, but for the wrong reason. I've correct it for the v3.

The main issue here is that for targets where VMA != LMA, executing the 
tests will fall into an endless recursion loop. Well, "endless" in the 
sense that the stack might be depleted or the test will simply timeout. 
The test cases are designed to assume that it's safe to call _start() 
from within main() to verify that the state of some variables tagged 
with certain attributes are correct after a "reset".

Do you think it's worth to have these tests reach the timeout to have 
them in the XFAIL list rather than in the UNSUPPORTED list?
Keep in mind that it's not just one test case, it's 5 test cases times 
the number of permutations of the CFLAGS...
It's also not expected that these test cases will be changed in a way 
that will make them work when VMA != LMA.

Kind regards,
Torbjörn

Ah, OK.  In that case, I agree return 0 is the right choice.

Yeah, good points.  Let's stick with it as it is then.

Thanks,
