Confirmed. Most of the failures are timeout-related.
When I make the following change, on OpenBSD 4.7,
(probably the one Pádraig is about to make?)
the only remaining failures are these two:
FAIL: misc/sort-compress
FAIL: misc/sort-continue
diff --git a/src/timeout.c b/src/timeout.c
index ae89942..f01c96e 100644
--- a/src/timeout.c
+++ b/src/timeout.c
@@ -127,7 +127,10 @@ settimeout (double duration)
}
}
else
- error (0, errno, _("warning: timer_create"));
+ {
+ if (errno != ENOSYS)
+ error (0, errno, _("warning: timer_create"));
+ }
#endif
unsigned int timeint;
And since the sort-continue problem doesn't arise on 4.9,
I won't bother with it for now.
