------- Comment From emach...@br.ibm.com 2014-09-30 17:10 EDT------- This issue with the DSO warning message was fixed recently on upstream:
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2014-09/msg00594.html I've rebuild gdb 7.8-0ubuntu1 with the aforementioned patch using gcc-4.9.1, it indeed fixes the DSO issue and the number of unexpected failures was reduced a bit: === gdb Summary === # of expected passes 24308 # of unexpected failures 254 # of unexpected successes 2 # of expected failures 57 # of unknown successes 1 # of known failures 58 # of unresolved testcases 4 # of untested testcases 40 # of unsupported tests 191 However, the number of failures is still higher than when using gcc-4.8. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to gdb in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1365664 Title: gdb source test suites are failing in Ubuntu14.10 Status in “gdb” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: ---Problem Description--- gdb source test suites are failing in Ubuntu14.10 Machine Type = P8 ---Steps to Reproduce--- Install a P8 system with Power KVM and then install Ubuntu 14.10 guest. Then try to build and execute the gdb source test suites as below. root@ubuntu:~# apt-get source gdb root@ubuntu:~# cd gdb-7.8/ root@ubuntu:~/gdb-7.8# dpkg-buildpackage -b 2>&1 | tee gdblog === gdb Summary === # of expected passes 25009 # of unexpected failures 287 # of unexpected successes 2 # of expected failures 66 # of unknown successes 1 # of known failures 59 # of unresolved testcases 3 # of untested testcases 19 # of unsupported tests 100 ---uname output--- Linux ubuntu 3.16.0-11-generic #16-Ubuntu SMP Mon Aug 25 20:02:00 UTC 2014 ppc64le ppc64le ppc64le GNU/Linux I've retested gdb from Ubuntu 14.04 (gdb-7.7-0ubuntu3.1) in the Ubuntu 14.10 VM provided by Pavaman and the number of failures curiously increased to 250 (in comparison to less than 140 on 14.04), which leads me to believe that there is something in the environment of Ubuntu 14.10 compromising gdb functionality in several testcases.
