In the LFS-7.10 book the following note related to the gcc testsuite is included:
---------------------------------------------------------- On some systems, numerous test failures (over 1100 unexpected failures out of over 200,000 tests) have been reported. These failures in gcc.target/i386/mpx/ are related to the Intel MPX (Memory Protection Extensions) tests and failures are due to the kernel configuration or the specific CPU architecture. These test failures are harmless and can be ignored. ---------------------------------------------------------- I don't see this note in the LFS-8.0 book. However when I run the test suite for gcc-6.3.0 I get 1141 unexpected failures from the gcc.target/i386/mpx/ directory. I wanted to mention this in case anyone else is getting these errors, and I guess I am also hoping this note will be included again in future versions of the book, unless these failures can be resolved.
