Once you have docker out of the equation, and other config issues out of the way, a test failure is definitely a bug. It needs to be investigated and eventually fixed... It could be either a bug strace OR a bug in the strace test for this architecture (such as trying something that is not supported at all by that arch) This was somehow expected that you would discover new bugs :) Now, before diving in more exotic archs, I think you should first get something stable with more common ones. Then you can tackle the off-broadway archs. >> As for the failure to build on various architectures, are you sure the >> toolchain you use is compiled with support for these?
