Bug 379105 – sys-devel/binutils-2.21.1 fails tests

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED OBSOLETE

[Description Myckel Habets 2011-08-13 21:22:32 UTC]

Doing bug 378485, I found that tests fail for this version of binutils. This is a regression over the current stable.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge sys-devel/binutils-2.21.1 with FEATURES="test"
Actual Results:  
Emerge fails due to failing tests.

Expected Results:  
Emerge successful with no tests failing.

[Comment 2 Agostino Sarubbo 2011-08-14 00:26:43 UTC]

Same error on amd64

[Comment 3 Andreas Schürch 2011-09-14 10:08:20 UTC]

I get still the same error with sys-devel/binutils-2.21.1-r1 on x86.

[Comment 4 SpanKY 2011-09-18 08:59:22 UTC]

most failures fixed by:
http://sources.gentoo.org/gentoo/src/patchsets/binutils/2.21.1/75_all_binutils-default-test-flags.patch?r1=1.1&r2=1.2

[Comment 5 SpanKY 2011-09-18 09:19:24 UTC]

and this fixes most (if not all) of the pax failures:
http://sources.gentoo.org/gentoo/src/patchsets/binutils/2.21.1/63_all_binutils-2.21.1-pt-pax-flags-20110918.patch?rev=1.1

[Comment 6 Andreas Kinzler 2011-09-19 10:55:07 UTC]

What is the impact of this for users? I am using Gentoo stable (and sys-devel/binutils-2.21.1-r1 is marked stable) on our servers and I am very worried about these toolchain (the heart of Gentoo) patches on a stable system

New build log

Updated build.log file.

[Comment 8 SpanKY 2011-11-03 17:34:28 UTC]

(In reply to comment #6)

there should be no impact on users.  all the test failures i've seen are false positives due to our hardening/etc... patches.

(In reply to comment #7)

i have no idea why things are failing so bad for you.  your tree is failing to even compile some of the tests, and most of the failures you're showing should be fixed by my latest patch.  building binutils for an x86 target

build.log: Test failures on amd64

Just for the record I am going to add my test failures and say that if they are in fact false positives then it would be great if the Gentoo devs could disable them in the ebuild or something, because us regular users tend to panic if a system package fails a test.
