Comment (by ken@…):
Indeed it was, and it showed up in your daily version check.
On my ryzen (which is the most up-to-date system), this is giving me a lot
more grief than 1.31.0. Specifically, a lot of segmentation faults in the
tests (in lto tests), and then current firefox-beta (65.0b11) fails to
build in gkrust with a segfault.
Retrying, just in case, was no different. Tried *forcing* thinlto in llvm
(that might be the default now, but it looks as if the build might be
slightly smaller) which reduced 23 failures to 22.
Meanwhile, on an old phenom running mostly BLFS-8.3 it seemed fine (only 4
test failures, three of which are for thumb (ARM) compiler variants) and
successfully built firefox-64.0.2.
Short current status: severely broken on *my* ryzen, on other machines the
test results might be a lot better than previous versions (e.g. it seems
to be ok in gdb tests, and to skip those if gdb is not present). Currently
trying with system llvm upgraded to 7.0.1 on the ryzen, that doesn't seem
to make any odds (still the segfaults in the tests), but will retry
firefox later to be sure.
Meanwhile, earlier in the week I completed testing 1.31.0 with all its
users (firefox-release as well as beta, thunderbird, librsvg, and running
the gdb testsuite (ambivalent, but didn't seem to be worse than with
1.29).
One, or perhaps two, other things to try - I see that gentoo and Arch do
not appear to have problems although neither have beta (source). I also
don't know if the segmentation fault in building firefox on this machine
also applies to 64.0.2.
I'm seriously thinking about giving up on this and learning to love binary
distros. If I can't get anywhere, will reinstall 1.31.0 and see if the
segfaults are because some RAM has decided to fail.
