My most recent full test run, last Wed., showed 52 failures on my Itanium LSB-si.
Of those I've addressed 27, explained what's happening in another 12, and have 13 remaining that I don't fully understand the reasons for the failure. "Addressed" is a pretty loose categorization including manually removing a file that had been left lying around which blocked one test from running (this could perhaps be considered a test bug), updating a couple of config file values, running through telnet instead of "chroot ; login", and - for most - changes I've made to the tests to address what I think are test suite bugs. Note that the test changes are *not* official, there are a small handful of PRs filed against these awaiting disposition; but I *have* been able to compile and pass the tests with those fixes applied. Of the 12 "explained" but not fixed, three require determining one value for the config file, which I've asked about on a different list, but not yet gotten a value for (VSRT_ADDR_SPACE_PAGES). Another six require a single fix to allow for timer resolutions that are not a power-of-ten HZ - the PR on that one has been recommended to accept. Two more require resolution of picking up the wrong value of SHMLBA (which is 1meg on Itanium, but that's not reflected in the header files). The final one requires resolution of why SSIZE_MAX on the system is defined as if ssize_t was an "int" (32-bit on LP64 machines such as Itanium), even though on a 64-bit platform it's a 64-bit quantity.
