Well I am getting consistent results here on a number of systems
across various OS and platform architectures. A few of them fail in
the test functions/wildcard and I see :
This one (the __ldir test) is exactly the one I was referring to as
failing on MacOS: it's a bug in handling symlinks in the older
glob.c/fnmatch.c implementation we have. This bug has been fixed in
GNU libc (and the later gnulib implementations).
This doesn't fail on GNU/Linux systems, if they choose the system GNU
libc (and it has this bug fixed--older systems may not).
It does fail everywhere with the exception of a single Debian Linux
x86_64 system. On 32-bit Debian systems there are many many failures
on both arm and i686.
I'd be interested to see the diffs generated on these other systems.
If convenient, please tar them up and send them to me directly (no need
to send them to the list).
Alrighty then I will tarball up stuff wherein there is information in
each tarball about the environment, the compiler and then the testsuite
results. Hope we can get a clean release that runs everywhere or at
least nearly everywhere.
