>Description:
after gcc bootstrap:
whereas in gcc-3.1, gmake -k check results
for libjava were in the 'usual' range, now
in gcc-3.1.1 there are tons of unexpected FAILS,
which seems a regression to me. Looking at your
"successful builds" webpage, this seems so also
on other platforms (for example, Linux-i86).
Do tests FAIL because of assembler warnings,
and newer assemblers (gas-2.13) issue more of them?
or was there a major change in the testsuite or
in libjava code?
>How-To-Repeat:
take gcc-3.1 and gcc-3.1.1
'gmake bootstrap'  and  'gmake -k check'  each of them.
compare results.
