Matthias,
I rebuilt your test debian binutils 2.14.90.0.1-0.1 package
on my debian ppc sid box and it looks fine. The places where we diverge
are...
your build...
=== binutils Summary ===
# of expected passes 28
# of untested testcases 4
and my build
=== binutils Summary ===
# of expected passes 31
# of expected failures 1
This difference of 4 untested test cases is due to you having
dejagnu 1.4.3 installed and my having downgraded to 1.4.2.
The other divergence is...
your build...
=== ld Summary ===
# of expected passes 171
# of unexpected failures 6
# of unexpected successes 4
# of expected failures 8
and my build...
=== ld Summary ===
# of expected passes 177
# of unexpected successes 4
# of expected failures 8
These 6 unexpected failures strongly suggest that the ppc sid
build machine you used had been prelinked. Currently we are
waiting for Jakub to debug why prelinking causes these 6
unexpected failures. Since I have unprelinked my machine they
aren't triggered. In any case, they are non-fatal for us.
Jack
