I compiled gcc 3.3 on my LCDS instance. When I ran the "make check" command it failed on the gctest. This seems to be a test of the Boehm garbage collector.
I then re-compiled gcc 3.3, using gcc 3.3 as the compiler. The same part of "make check" failed. The error message is spectacularly uninformative: make[4]: Entering directory `/tmp/build-gcc-3.3-s390-1/gcc.build.lnx/s390-slackware-linux/boehm-gc' FAIL: gctest =================== 1 of 1 tests failed =================== make[4]: *** [check-TESTS] Error 1 make[4]: Leaving directory `/tmp/build-gcc-3.3-s390-1/gcc.build.lnx/s390-slackware-linux/boehm-gc' This makes me somewhat concerned about the rest of the compiler, and what other problems may be lurking. I'm hoping Ulrich and his co-workers can help me figure out what might be wrong. Mark Post
