Hmm, I don't think that would be a good idea ... > or is it easier to teach sparse about the architecture stuff? I now understand (I think!) that you are building a sparse package (presumably a .deb) and you are concerned that sparse does not pass it's own testsuite on those platforms. As I said before, the additional failures you are seeing are in the 'llvm backend' code (which, as far as I know, only passes on x86_64 Linux), and in my opinion the llvm-backend programs should not be installed. (The Makefile will build them automatically if you have llvm installed, likewise for c2xml/libxml and test-inspect/gtk). [I would like to see build variable(s) to allow the user to suppress the build (or installation) of the other 'non-primary' sparse programs.] Anyway, if you were to un-install llvm, sparse-llvm etc., would not be built, and the tests would not be run ... ;-) Christopher, as the project maintainer, has the joy of making these kinds of decisions! :-D ATB, Ramsay Jones
