This is weird, but indeed, not what gnu-build-system does. > Then I tried "make -j 4", which completed, followed by "make -j 4 check". > One of the tests fails: > FAIL: reuse > See tests/mpz/test-suite.log Isn’t it again an instance of presumed overheating, as discussed in <http://bugs.gnu.org/21620>? These tests are purely computational AFAIK, so I don’t see how running tests in parallel could possibly lead to failures. WDYT? Thanks, Ludo’. PS: Forget my other message on this subject, which I sent before reading yours.
