I've been investigating this FTBFS of emacs25 on Alpha. Interestingly my manual build on one of the buildds built to completion. Running the test manually I cannot get it to fail. I am using invocations such as:
./debian/build-nox/src/emacs-25.2.2 -batch -L ./debian/build-src/test/automated/ -l ert -l eieio-tests.el -f ert-run-tests-batch-and-exit So I gave back emacs25 for rebuilding on the buildd and it failed there again on the same test. Maybe something about building with sbuild? Cheers Michael.
