------- Comment #9 from rob1weld at aol dot com 2007-05-24 20:03 ------- Thank you for looking into this, everyone. I do appreciate it working correctly.
Here is the extreme steps I took to fix "my" problem. It is not reasonable that the average person would be assumed to know this (something is broken and it's not my fault ;) ), but here it is for the sake of documentaion ... --- # wget http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/b/binutils/binutils_2.17cvs20070426-7_i386.deb # dpkg -i binutils_2.17cvs20070426-7_i386.deb Preparing to replace binutils 2.17-3 (using binutils_2.17cvs20070426-7_i386.deb) ... Unpacking replacement binutils ... dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of binutils: binutils depends on libc6 (>= 2.5-5); however: Version of libc6 on system is 2.3.6.ds1-13. dpkg: error processing binutils (--install): dependency problems - leaving unconfigured Errors were encountered while processing: binutils # apt-get install libc6 Reading package lists... Done Building dependency tree... Done libc6 is already the newest version. You might want to run `apt-get -f install' to correct these: The following packages have unmet dependencies: binutils: Depends: libc6 (>= 2.5-5) but 2.3.6.ds1-13 is to be installed --- NFG ! --- So instead do this. # dpkg-deb -x binutils_2.17cvs20070426-7_i386.deb tmp # cp tmp/usr/lib/libopcodes-2.17.50.20070426.so /usr/lib # cp tmp/usr/lib/libbfd-2.17.50.20070426.so /usr/lib # mv /usr/bin/as /usr/bin/as-Origonal # cp tmp/usr/bin/as /usr/bin # as --version GNU assembler (GNU Binutils for Debian) 2.17.50.20070426 # diff -u gcc/testsuite/gcc/gcc-try2-log.txt gcc/testsuite/gcc/gcc-try3-log.txt | tail -n 20 === gcc Summary === -# of expected passes 45242 +# of expected passes 45374 # of unexpected failures 90 # of unexpected successes 2 # of expected failures 134 # of unresolved testcases 38 # of untested testcases 28 -# of unsupported tests 372 +# of unsupported tests 306 Target: i686-pc-linux-gnu gcc version 4.3.0 20070523 (experimental) # grep -n Assembler\ messages gcc/testsuite/gcc/gcc-try*-log.txt gcc/testsuite/gcc/gcc-try1-log.txt:114819:/tmp/cceBAOxd.s: Assembler messages: gcc/testsuite/gcc/gcc-try1-log.txt:114823:/tmp/cceBAOxd.s: Assembler messages: gcc/testsuite/gcc/gcc-try1-log.txt:114891:/tmp/ccV6VpRr.s: Assembler messages: gcc/testsuite/gcc/gcc-try1-log.txt:114895:/tmp/ccV6VpRr.s: Assembler messages: gcc/testsuite/gcc/gcc-try2-log.txt:114850:/tmp/ccKqTs3N.s: Assembler messages: gcc/testsuite/gcc/gcc-try2-log.txt:114854:/tmp/ccKqTs3N.s: Assembler messages: gcc/testsuite/gcc/gcc-try2-log.txt:114922:/tmp/ccMwoETb.s: Assembler messages: gcc/testsuite/gcc/gcc-try2-log.txt:114926:/tmp/ccMwoETb.s: Assembler messages: gcc/testsuite/gcc/gcc-try3-log.txt: (NOTHING) That is "as fixed" as it gets. _Unless_ you have some advice to offer. -- rob1weld at aol dot com changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Status|RESOLVED |VERIFIED Summary|Some MASKs aren't sufficient|Some MASKs aren't sufficient |in certain sse4_1 tests |in certain sse4_1 testsA |A MASK is non-efficient in |MASK is non-efficient in |certain sse4_1 tests |certain sse4_1 testsSome |Some MASKs aren't sufficient|MASKs aren't sufficient in |in certain sse4_1 tests |certain sse4_1 tests http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=32062
