Do you have /dev/pts mounted? Without it dejagnu does not work properly and generate lots of errors. There should be test-summary.gz in /usr/share/doc/gcc-3.4 (or just test-summary in the build directory) with an overview of what the status of the tests. This for instance lists this for C on i386: === gcc Summary === # of expected passes 24999 # of unexpected failures 2 # of expected failures 70 # of untested testcases 7 # of unsupported tests 201 /home/packages/gcc/3.4/gcc-3.4-3.4.3/build/gcc/xgcc version 3.4.4 20041218 (prerelease) (Debian 3.4.3-6) And this for c++: === g++ Summary === # of expected passes 9769 # of unexpected successes 3 # of expected failures 71 # of unsupported tests 43 /home/packages/gcc/3.4/gcc-3.4-3.4.3/build/gcc/testsuite/../g++ version 3.4.4 20041218 (prerelease) (Debian 3.4.3-6) So for C there are 2 unexpected failures and for C++ there are 3 unexpected successes. I wouldn't call that many errors. I could only hope that it gives as good as results as this on all arches. Kurt
