Pasted directly from section 6.11...
Test the results:
make -k check >glibc-check-log 2>&1
grep Error glibc-check-log
The Glibc test suite is highly dependent on certain functions of the
host system, in particular the kernel. In general, the Glibc test
suite is always expected to pass. However, in certain circumstances,
some failures are unavoidable. This is a list of the most common issues:
*
The math tests sometimes fail when running on systems where the
CPU is not a relatively new genuine Intel or authentic AMD. Certain
optimization settings are also known to be a factor here.
*
The gettext test sometimes fails due to host system issues. The
exact reasons are not yet clear.
*
If you have mounted the LFS partition with the noatime option,
the atime test will fail. As mentioned in Section 2.4, "Mounting the
New Partition", do not use the noatime option while building LFS.
*
When running on older and slower hardware, some tests can fail
because of test timeouts being exceeded.
Well, do you think that a [EMAIL PROTECTED] with 512MB of RAM is slow or
older machine?!
"Slow" compared to whatever machine it might take to pass those tests.
:) In any case, it's not strange to have a test failure or two because
of test timeouts even on newer computers, especially if you're using it
for other stuff while building LFS.
