I just ran the ghc regression test on my MacBook. It says:
OVERALL SUMMARY for test run started at Sat Jan 20 18:26:17 EST 2007
...
266 unexpected failures
So either my setup is totally wrong (I have the latest sources), or the
testsuite is
not set up right. The point of a test suite is that you should be able to
run it
before and after a change and see if something bad has happened. If the
norm
is to get unexpected failures, then they are not unexpected, are they?
So which is it? Did I miss something setting up ghc, or does is the test
suite giving
unexpected failures normally? If it's the latter I strongly recommend
changing how
the suite is set up. There might be failures that should be fixed, but
that are still
expected at the moment. Well, then say so.
