In the first place the .log files are not being created correctly by the testsuite in all cases.
This results in the "test_summary" script failing to mail all the errors that could be reported. Problem 1): The boehm-gc tests are not included by the "test_summary", script (and never were previously, to my recolection). This is likely because "make -i check" does not create a .log file (but does test boehm-gc). I saved the screen output and here is what I see: make[3]: Leaving directory `/opt/gcc-4_2-build/i686-pc-linux-gnu/boehm-gc/include' make[3]: Entering directory `/opt/gcc-4_2-build/i686-pc-linux-gnu/boehm-gc' /bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link /opt/gcc-4_2-build/./gcc/xgcc -B/opt/gcc-4_2-build/./gcc/ -B/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -$ /opt/gcc-4_2-build/./gcc/xgcc -B/opt/gcc-4_2-build/./gcc/ -B/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ -$ tests/test.o: In function `mktree': /root/downloads/gcc-4_2-branch/boehm-gc/tests/test.c:798: undefined reference to `GC_local_malloc' /root/downloads/gcc-4_2-branch/boehm-gc/tests/test.c:807: undefined reference to `GC_local_malloc_atomic' tests/test.o: In function `local_cons': /root/downloads/gcc-4_2-branch/boehm-gc/tests/test.c:264: undefined reference to `GC_local_malloc' /root/downloads/gcc-4_2-branch/boehm-gc/tests/test.c:267: undefined reference to `GC_local_gcj_malloc' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[3]: [gctest] Error 1 (ignored) make "AR_FLAGS=rc" "CC_FOR_BUILD=gcc" "CFLAGS=-O2 -g -O2 " "CXXFLAGS=-g -O2 -D_GNU_SOURCE" "CFLAGS_FOR_BUILD=-g -O2" "$ make[4]: Entering directory `/opt/gcc-4_2-build/i686-pc-linux-gnu/boehm-gc' /bin/sh ./libtool --mode=link /opt/gcc-4_2-build/./gcc/xgcc -B/opt/gcc-4_2-build/./gcc/ -B/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -$ /opt/gcc-4_2-build/./gcc/xgcc -B/opt/gcc-4_2-build/./gcc/ -B/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/bin/ -B/usr/i686-pc-linux-gnu/lib/ -$ tests/test.o: In function `mktree': /root/downloads/gcc-4_2-branch/boehm-gc/tests/test.c:798: undefined reference to `GC_local_malloc' /root/downloads/gcc-4_2-branch/boehm-gc/tests/test.c:807: undefined reference to `GC_local_malloc_atomic' tests/test.o: In function `local_cons': /root/downloads/gcc-4_2-branch/boehm-gc/tests/test.c:264: undefined reference to `GC_local_malloc' /root/downloads/gcc-4_2-branch/boehm-gc/tests/test.c:267: undefined reference to `GC_local_gcj_malloc' collect2: ld returned 1 exit status make[4]: [gctest] Error 1 (ignored) /bin/sh: line 8: /root/downloads/gcc-4_2-branch/boehm-gc/gctest: No such file or directory FAIL: gctest =================== 1 of 1 tests failed =================== make[4]: [check-TESTS] Error 1 (ignored) make[4]: Leaving directory `/opt/gcc-4_2-build/i686-pc-linux-gnu/boehm-gc' Problem 2): The testsuite scripts fails in the parsing of the libstdc+-v3 .log file. There is some breakage in grabbing the .log file that results in the compiler output filling up part of the logs. The other difficulty is that the "expect" is unprepared for the "libstdc++-v3 check-abi Summary". It's final output is in a format that seems compatable with the "test_summary" script but it's result is not included in mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] . Here is what it looks like in i686-pc-linux-gnu/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/libstdc++.log : === libstdc++-v3 check-abi Summary === # of added symbols: 114 # of missing symbols: 46 # of incompatible symbols: 92 My last "make -i check" (with notes at the end) is here: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2007-05/msg00314.html -- Summary: Logs are not being parsed correctly by testsuite and "test_summary" scripts.
