Hi folks,

I just updated the status of GCC test suite in r11593.  I noticed two
failures
because the lack of /etc/hosts and iana-etc.  They can be resolved by using
the
minimal hosts file from Perl page, and installing iana-etc before GCC.

The edited book is at http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/~xry111/LFS-BOOK-rfc/.

I saw those updates.  Thanks.

If you want to dig into gcc, take a look at the 100 gcc errors when
valgrind and gdb are installed.  Most seem to be related, but I didn't
want to try to figure them out.  Upstream knows about them as I found
them in the test results page.

I just ignore all failures of "guality" tests.

If test failures are due to the test environment or bugs in the tests
themselves, I generally don't think is is worth our time to try to
figure out fixes.

Only because I was using some CFLAGS/CXXFLAGS, I spent some time to make sure
these flags didn't cause the failures.  I think it's OK to document these
failures in the book and let the readers to ignore them.  So let's keep the book
like now.

I agree.

But, just curious, why did we move shadow for several gcc tests?

From the change log last August:

"Move shadow to before gcc so the gcc tests can
use su to run as a non-privileged user."
