Personally I think ignoring errors thrown up by the test suite
is a bad idea. For instance the libsndfile testsuite found a bug
in gcc's code generator when generating ARMEL code for libvorbis.

No I don't. There is still a question mark over the functionality
on MIPS. It should be investigated properly.

This bug affects functionality that was not present in 1.0.17.

This bug did not affect 1.0.18 because Ogg/Vorbis support was not
enabled at build time (missing Build-Depends). Hence, it is not
a regression.

I'm concerned about people using libsndfile to convert audio
data to Ogg/Vorbis and deleting the source before listening to
output files. Doing this could result in lost input files and
garbage output files.

Arm we know about. Thats a code generator bug in the ARM gcc.

These are probably instances of the same bug.

And that is another issue.

I'll try the porters lists, probably starting with MIPS.
