Overview

These are notes on the current state of the Arch Linux toolchain (gcc, glibc, binutils, linux-api-headers and their dependencies). This will record all known testsuite failures so that they can be investigated. Future toolchain rebuilds should not suffer from any additional (unexpected) testsuite failures and ideally should fix the current issues...

Current Toolchain

binutils

Version: 2.23.2-2

Test suite failures - i686 only:

FAIL: debug_msg.sh

debug_msg.sh
- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15411

Test suite failures - x86_64 only:

FAIL: exception_static_test

exception_static_test
- http://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=15407

glibc

Version: 2.17-5

No test suite failures!

gcc

Version: 4.8.0-3 (20130425)

Test suite failures - i686 and x86_64:

FAIL: libmudflap.c++/pass41-frag.cxx ( -O) execution test
FAIL: libmudflap.c++/pass41-frag.cxx (-O2) execution test
FAIL: libmudflap.c++/pass41-frag.cxx (-O3) execution test

Has libmudflap ever passed...

linux-api-headers

Version: 3.8.4-1

Dependencies

The following packages were used in generating the test suite results for the current toolchain:

cloog-0.18.0-1
isl-0.11.2-1
gmp-5.1.1-1
libmpc-1.0.1-1
mpfr-3.1.2-1
zlib-1.2.7-1

Any updates to these packages must pass their respective test suite completely before entering [testing]. In general it is not necessary to rerun the toolchain packages test suite on updates of these packages unless an soname bump has occurred.
