Ooh, I don't think I could afford the necessary amount of coffee to build on that!

I can remember various threads on the powerpc-dev list which suggested certain things needed to be done differently on it - maybe it's all now been merged upstream. > > http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2008-03/msg01254.html > The number of failures isn't extreme, but it is slightly high. Your report doesn't show which tests failed. Could be all manner of things, including old tools or even missing locales. I haven't used 4.2.3 so far, and my last ppc build was using recent clfs (with e.g. upstream patches in binutils). I only enable c,c++. For gcc-4.2.2 I had the following failures: FAIL: gcc.dg/tree-ssa/loop-19.c scan-tree-dump-times MEM.(base: &|symbol: )a, 2 FAIL: gcc.dg/tree-ssa/loop-19.c scan-tree-dump-times MEM.(base: &|symbol: )c, 2 FAIL: g++.dg/other/unused1.C scan-assembler (string|ascii?)z?\t"class2("|\\\\000) Enjoy the build. The jh branch covers ppc (except for bootloaders) if you don't want to use clfs. ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, das andere Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
