I've not seen it, but I'll comment on "built and checked with -j1". For the build, I would use -jN (for the largest value of N which is useful on that particular machine), and only use -j1 for the check. Testsuites and -jN can be nasty (see my comments on gcc in the past few months on -dev). Do you still get that failure if you use fresh source ? Many testsuites do not give complete reruns, they save existing results - no idea if this is one of them. ĸen -- Nanny Ogg usually went to bed early. After all, she was an old lady.
