Binutils is already installed but I want to try out portage's "test" feature. Compilation succeeds but 3 tests fail.

same with binutils-2.19.1-r1
Created attachment 202710 [details] Full build log and tests failures
Same here, attaching the full build log. This is on stable binutils so this should really be fixed or RESTRICT="test"
Same here with a fresh stable x86 chroot, containing only system.
*** Bug 295017 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Built with sys-devel/gcc-4.3.4 USE="gcj mudflap nls nptl openmp test"... binutils-2.18-r3 fails the same tests for me. It's a remerge, so presumably the tests succeeded previously. binutils-2.18-r4 fails same tests. binutils-2.19.1-r1 fails same tests plus 40 more (8 new, 32 regressions). binutils-2.19.51.0.13 fails same tests as 2.19.1-r1 plus 2 regressions (ld-i386/hidden2, ld-scripts/empty-aligned) binutils-2.19.51.0.14 fails like .13 binutils-2.20 fails like 2.19.51.0.14 except it passes ld-elf/seg binutils-2.20.51.0.1 fails like 2.20 plus ld-elf/seg (regression) binutils-2.20.51.0.2 fails like .1 but passes ld-elf/seg binutils-2.20.51.0.3 passes the 3 tests but fails 10 others. binutils-2.20.51.0.4 is like .2 binutils-2.20.51.0.5 is like .5 Googling gives a few seemingly unrelated bugs (reported only on ARM, for a start): https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/binutils/+bug/446478 http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=41684 http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=564685 Building with gcc-3.4.6-r2 USE=nptl (one of the oldest ones that successfully builds) succeeds, so I'd suspect it's a similar issue with binutils tests being buggy. Now to test with various versions of GCC (I'll get back to you in a few days...)
Succeeds with gcc-4.2.4-r1 USE=nptl (the only available 4.2). Fails with gcc-4.3.2-r3 USE=nptl and also gcc-4.3.3-r2 (the oldest/newest 4.3s). I'm guessing it's probably down to a change between 4.2 and 4.3.
binutils-2.20-r1 and binutils-2.20.1 should pass all tests now. if you hit a failure after syncing, file a new report.
