Date: Mon, 16 Feb 1998 11:44:00 -0000 Message-id: <19980216134338.34121@dgii.com> X-SW-Source: 1998-02/msg00760.html Can one of you guys with a current EGCS on Linux try something for me? I haven't been able to do a 'make check' for over a month, and I'm trying to figure out if something is broken on other x86 elf/unix targets, or if it's unique to OpenServer. I also can't tell if I'm just the only one masochistic enough to make another pass over all the testsuites with -fPIC or not. When I last ran the tests around mid Jan, this didn't happen. In your gcc directory, type make check-g++ RUNTESTFLAGS="--tool_opts -fPIC old-deja.exp=eh*" === g++ Summary === # of expected passes 66 # of unexpected failures 37 /home/play/negcs/gcc/testsuite/../xgcc version egcs-2.91.08 980214 (gcc-2.8.0 re lease) If I lose the -fPIC, I see much better numbers. === g++ Summary === # of expected passes 103 It looks like all the EH tests with -fPIC drop core. -- Robert Lipe http://www.dgii.com/people/robertl robertl@dgii.com
