I found a potential problem in "dejagnu-1.5.1/lib/framework.exp" (or previous
version)
As I said before, in my case, the selector 'target std=c++98' doesn't seems to
prevent the FAIL when -std=c++11 options is used in compiler flags.
I noticed that -std=c++11 is my last compiler flag and in function
"check_conditional_xfail" from dejagnu-1.5.1/lib/framework.exp (called by
check-flags from gcc-4.7.3/gcc/testsuite/lib/target-supports-dg.exp) I saw the
following lines :
verbose "Looking for $opt to exclude in the compiler flags" 2
foreach j "$opt" {
if {[string match "* $j *" $compiler_flags]} {
verbose "Found $j to exclude in the compiler flags" 2
incr excl_hit
}
}
'string match' uses "* $j *" , i.e. a white space is required after each option
in order to be properly matched. When an option is the last compiler flag then
it cannot be matched because it is not followed by a white space. This explains
why the dg-error is not ignored when compiler with -std=c++11 even if selector
'target c++98' is used.
I may be the only one to meet this exact problem because for some reasons
-std=c++xx options is my last flag AND some tests use a selector on this
particular flag. But, imho the problem can be met on any other flag as far as
it is the last compiler flag.
Answer : (a) bug in the test harness code
Am I right ?

Well, that would be a bug in one of (a) the test harness code, (b) the way the
selector is used, (c) your DejaGnu installation. In none of those cases is
ignoring the FAIL appropriate; both (a) and (c) could well cause other problems
with inaccurate test results elsewhere in the testsuite.
You'll need to investigate why DejaGnu isn't behaving as intended on your
system.
