I was saddened to see these results of the 8.1 testsuite :
=== gdb Summary ===
# of expected passes 48036
# of unexpected failures 881
# of unexpected successes 2
# of expected failures 56
# of unknown successes 4
# of known failures 66
# of unresolved testcases 11
# of untested testcases 50
# of unsupported tests 213
/usr/local/build/gdb-8.1_4.13.0-1-powerpc64.001/gdb/gdb version 8.1 -nw
-nx -data-directory
/usr/local/build/gdb-8.1_4.13.0-1-powerpc64.001/gdb/testsuite/../data-directory
This is an order of magnitude worse than a previous build for 8.0.1 :
=== gdb Summary ===
# of expected passes 33093
# of unexpected failures 96
# of expected failures 58
# of known failures 65
# of unresolved testcases 3
# of untested testcases 56
# of unsupported tests 206
/usr/local/build/gdb-8.0.1_linux_3.16.0-4-powerpc64.001/gdb/testsuite/../../gdb/gdb
version 8.0.1 -nw -nx -data-directory
/usr/local/build/gdb-8.0.1_linux_3.16.0-4-powerpc64.001/gdb/testsuite/../data-directory
Of course the kernel rev has changed since then, considerably, as well
as a number of tools in the system. Nearly 900 unexpected test failures
is quite distressing. Certainly not a usable resultant binary.
There are a number of internal errors :
-bash-4.4$ grep "^FAIL" ../gdb-8.1_4.13.0-1-powerpc64.001.check.log |
grep "internal error"

I will move onwards to a Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.4 system and see
what results happen there but for the moment I have to ask if other
people are seeing reasonable build and testsuite results?
