OK, I feel stupid now. I tested snapshots periodically and gave up on one check error I could not fix, and I see where it is now (but it's still there). Probably due to the libtool hack. Every 'make check' uses the -installed- versions of the shared libraries - or just fails if nothing with the right soname is installed. spawn /mnt/faur3/home/dan/binutils-2.9.5.0.10/builddir-single/binutils/ar rc tmpdir/artest.a tmpdir/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz1 tmpdir/abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz2 lt-ar: error in loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.9.5.0.10.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory lt-ar: error in loading shared libraries: libbfd-2.9.5.0.10.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory FAIL: ar long file names $ file ar ar: Bourne shell script text $ head ar #! /bin/sh # ar - temporary wrapper script for .libs/ar # Generated by ltmain.sh - GNU libtool 1.3.2 (1.385.2.150 1999/05/26 00:28:32) # # The ar program cannot be directly executed until all the libtool # libraries that it depends on are installed. # # This wrapper script should never be moved out of the build directory. # If it is, it will not operate correctly. So apparently the libtool scripts fail.
