Build results on i586-pc-linux-gnu

["Art Haas" <ahaas at airmail dot net>]

Hi.

A CVS pull from yesterday produced the following results for my build on
i586-pc-linux-gnu. I'm using Debian's gcc-3.3.3 package, the 2.6.3-BK kernel
headers, and configuring glibc as follows:

$ CFLAGS="-O2 -march=pentium-mmx -finline-limit=100000" \
/opt/build/libc/configure --prefix=/usr --enable-add-ons=nptl \
--with-tls  --with-headers=/mnt/src/linux-ajh/include

The build completes without problems, and make check produces the
following errors:

Lots of nptl failures, many of them fail with the message "Didn't expect
signal from child: got 'Segmentation fault'". The 'tst-clock2.out' error
was "clock_gettime round 0 failed".

I don't know how many of these errors are expected in the current CVS
code. I tried a build last week with a build of CVS GCC-3.5, but the
build failed in the 'sunrpc' code when the 'IXDR_PUT_LONG' macro was
called. The failure was an lvalue cast error, and looking at the macro
definition in 'sunrpc/rpc/xdr.h' the macro uses the formerly
deprecated, and in GCC-3.5 removed, __extension__ for lvalue casts. I
didn't know how to fix this problem - the comment above the macro says
to not use this code anymore as it has 64-bit problems.

Hope this build report is useful to you. Thanks for all your efforts
with glibc.
