--- Comment #2 from Ciro Santilli <ciro.santilli at gmail dot com> ---
I was getting 388 failures on tag binutils-2_25, Ubuntu 14.04 GCC 4.8 the large
majority related to attach.

Then I run with:

    sudo make check RUNTESTFLAGS="--ignore bigcore.exp"

and it fell down to 36 only!

I ignore bigcore.exp because it slows my machine too much:
https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=18704

So it seems that the inability to attach without sudo was the cause of most
failures.

We should really document that somewhere.

@Keith:

- why don't we mark failing tests with XFAIL so as to unclutter the tests?
- shouldn't we document about the sudo on the testsuite/README ?
- I am unable to find the buildbot results for a given commit to compare, e.g.
binutils-2_25... is that possible? Not built-in it seems:

Attaching .sum and .log.
