Re: libc error

[bemis <bemis at iol dot unh dot edu>]

Greeting Andreas,

    So are you saying that we should ignore all libc check errors on alpha or just
these ones?  We provide a build everyday so people that do not have the opportunity
to build on alphas can see their code built on alpha.  If we discontinue this
autobuild system some people will not know if their code has broken libc on alpha.
Do you ignore compiler/check errors on intel systems that run Suse linux???

    I thought libc is supposed to be portable on different platforms?  Am I wrong?
Dejagnu has the capability to test different compilers on different platforms.  Those
small differences are covered by dejagnu testsuites that "should" be written for each
cpu, and its different compilers.
