I noticed something very strange: if WITHOUT_CHECK is unset in the environment, invoking dpkg-buildpackage for gnat runs the test suite using dejagnu. The compiler being tested is the installed gnat-4.1 bootstrap compiler, not the just built gnat-4.2, as evidenced by the detailed log file, build/gcc/testsuite/gnat/gnat.log:

Even when WITHOUT_CHECK is set, I can reproduce this consistently with $ debian/rules build $ make -C build/gcc check-gnat Why is that? What should I be doing? The real problem is that when building official packages, I end up shipping misleading test results as part of the gnat-4.2-base package. -- Ludovic Brenta. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
