I found more "make check" failures in redhat gcc 3.3 under EL 3.0 beta1 kernel. I even put 2.4.21-1.1931.2.377 on RH9. I got new failures: [hjl@gnu build-i686-linux]$ ./gcc/xgcc -v Reading specs from /usr/gcc-3.3-redhat/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux- gnu/3.3.1/specs Configured with: /export/gnu/src/gcc-3.3-redhat/gcc/configure --enable- clocale=gnu --with-system-zlib --enable-shared --enable-threads=posix --enable- haifa --disable-checking --prefix=/usr/gcc-3.3-redhat --with-local- prefix=/usr/local Thread model: posix gcc version 3.3.1 20030814 (Red Hat Linux 3.3.1-2) [hjl@gnu build-i686-linux]$ grep FAIL ../nohup.out FAIL: Array_3 execution - source compiled test FAIL: Array_3 execution - gij test FAIL: Array_3 execution - bytecode->native test FAIL: Array_3 -O execution - source compiled test FAIL: Array_3 execution - gij test FAIL: Array_3 -O execution - bytecode->native test FAIL: Divide_1 execution - source compiled test FAIL: Divide_1 execution - bytecode->native test FAIL: Divide_1 -O execution - source compiled test FAIL: Divide_1 -O execution - bytecode->native test FAIL: Invoke_1 execution - source compiled test FAIL: Invoke_1 execution - bytecode->native test FAIL: Invoke_1 -O execution - source compiled test FAIL: Invoke_1 -O execution - bytecode->native test FAIL: PR218 execution - source compiled test FAIL: PR218 execution - gij test FAIL: PR218 execution - bytecode->native test FAIL: PR218 -O execution - source compiled test FAIL: PR218 execution - gij test FAIL: PR218 -O execution - bytecode->native test FAIL: Throw_2 execution - source compiled test FAIL: Throw_2 execution - gij test FAIL: Throw_2 execution - bytecode->native test FAIL: Throw_2 -O execution - source compiled test FAIL: Throw_2 execution - gij test FAIL: Throw_2 -O execution - bytecode->native test I didn't see those failures under 2.4.20-19.9.
These errors are intermitent, I saw them with various kernels and both gcc 3.2.x and 3.3.x.
I believe it is a kernel/nptl related problem. When I ran "make check" for the current glibc + nptl from CVS under the 2.4.21-1.1931.2.377 SMP kernel on an SMP machine running RHEL 3.0 beta1, I got kernel oops during nptl tests.
Please retest with the .393 kernel that was posted to RHN (sushi) Thursday 8/14. Arun to provide to HJ.
2.4.21-1.1931.2.423 seems OK.
closing due to reporter feedback of newer kernel being ok
