RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description David Kutálek 2010-05-27 12:10:46 UTC 
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #522235 +++

The following tests fail in gawk test suite:

double1 and double2 fail on 64bit archs (ppc64, s390x, and x86_64)
intformat fails on x86_64

This indicates that the results of certain numeric computations can differ across platforms, in certain rare cases.

This is not a serious obstacle in real-life, though.

Moreover, "make check" does not set an exit code, even though some tests fail; this is more serious as it might cause serious breakage to be overseen.
Comment 1 RHEL Program Management 2010-05-27 15:35:55 UTC 
This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux major release.  Product Management has requested further
review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red
Hat Enterprise Linux Major release.  This request is not yet committed for
inclusion.
Comment 2 Jan Zeleny 2010-05-28 07:57:34 UTC 
Failing tests pointed to an error in gawk when handling long integers. It is fixed. As for return code of test suite - I believe it is a feature, the test suite doesn't seem to be meant as automated tool.
Comment 6 David Kutálek 2010-06-03 08:14:01 UTC 
There is still some problems, only on s390x, in libsisegv:

...
make  check-TESTS

Jan, please can you inspect?
Comment 7 Jan Zeleny 2010-06-03 09:03:13 UTC 
Gawk is compiled without libsigsegv support. Could it be the reason of that error? I believe it could.
Comment 8 Jan Zeleny 2010-06-04 09:29:22 UTC 
I tried to investigate it further, but I have only limited knowledge of autotools, so I wasn't able to find anything. For all I know, libsigsegv isn't compiled in gawk and thus all its tests should be excluded from test suite.
Comment 9 David Kutálek 2010-06-14 10:13:09 UTC 
Ok, the problem was in fact caused by my testing script.
Now it is running the testsuite without libsigsegv and also on s390 is now passing.
Comment 11 releng-rhel@redhat.com 2010-11-10 20:24:28 UTC 
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.0 is now available and should resolve
the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed
with a resolution of CURRENTRELEASE. You may reopen this bug report if the
solution does not work for you.
