Argh, I reran "make check-g++" with the original (unpatched) GCC and am now seeing 3 unexpected failures (when the exact same compiler produced 0 failures yesterday). From what I can see, these failures are due to problems in the test-infrastructure: they all show up as timeouts after a compile. It looks to me as if "expect" sometimes fails to notice the (failure-free) termination of the compiler and that leads to subsequent and spurious test-suite failures. I'll see if this is a bug in "expect". I wonder if the failure(s) Jim saw for the patch for bug #13158 have the same root-cause. Has anyone heard of such spurious failures before? -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18010
