Hi HJ,
I discovered today that the following changes were made to ld's
selective.exp test case last year:
2001-07-12 H.J. Lu <hjl@gnu.org>
* ld-selective/selective.exp: Mark selective1, selective2,
selective4 and selective5 xfail on alpha*-*.
2001-06-06 H.J. Lu <hjl@gnu.org>
* ld-selective/selective.exp: Mark selective2, selective3,
selective4 and selective5 xfail on Linux/mips.
I have a couple of questions about these patches:
+ Why are all Alpha targets XFAILed?
+ If the intention is to XFAIL the tests on Linux/mips, why does the
patch XFAIL "mips*-*"? There are embedded MIPS targets where this
test will pass. Frankly, I wonder how this particular patch was
accepted into the tree.
+ Why does this test fail specifically on {alpha,mips*}-linux-*
systems, anyway? If it fails, it seems to me that it is a genuine
failure.
