I've built 7.8-rc (as it was) four times on real hardware, all x86_64. In each case, my logs show: PASS: tests/misc/seq-precision.sh I did not keep a note of what sort of term I was using (didn't think I'd be asked :) but probably all were using rxvt-unicode - for the server, that was over ssh from a desktop box. The desktops were variously: from 7.7, from 7.8 (a second system on my test box), from June svn. The server build was from 7.6. In the desktop boxes I put a new kernel on the host (similar to what I'm going to build for LFS - to try to find out any kernel problems before I build the new system) and use that. For the server, I am using a 4.1.8 kernel and the old 7.6 system had already moved to 4.1.1. At the moment, google is only finding this thread, and Frans de Boer's report from July - http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.lfs.support/40574 and http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse/2015-07/msg00380.html but of course it is possible that few people have run the tests.
