Description Mart Raudsepp gentoo-dev

sys-devel/gdb has:

src_test() {
        nonfatal emake check || ewarn "tests failed"
}

That's not OK to just ewarn out of failed tests and continue with installation. We have FEATURES=test-fail-continue for that kind of behavior. Please remove the nonfatal || ewarn bits.
