--- Comment #3 from vries at gcc dot gnu.org 2012-03-14 21:02:51 UTC --- (In reply to comment #2) > What's different with --disable-bootstrap? Missing linker plugin support? I did a reference build, bootstrap and nobootstrap, and the test passed for bootstrap and failed for nobootstrap: ... ref-last/FAIL:./gcc/testsuite/gnat/gnat.sum:PASS: gnat.dg/lto8.adb (test for excess errors) ref-last/FAIL:./gcc/testsuite/gnat/gnat.sum:PASS: gnat.dg/lto8.adb execution test ref-last/FAIL.nobootstrap:./gcc/testsuite/gnat/gnat.sum:FAIL: gnat.dg/lto8.adb (test for excess errors) ref-last/FAIL.nobootstrap:./gcc/testsuite/gnat/gnat.sum:UNRESOLVED: gnat.dg/lto8.adb compilation failed to produce executable ... After that, I tested an tail-merge (AFAIK unrelated) patch on top of the same sources, and now the test fails for both: ... test-pr51879.8.4.patch/with/FAIL:./gcc/testsuite/gnat/gnat.sum:FAIL: gnat.dg/lto8.adb (test for excess errors) test-pr51879.8.4.patch/with/FAIL:./gcc/testsuite/gnat/gnat.sum:UNRESOLVED: gnat.dg/lto8.adb compilation failed to produce executable test-pr51879.8.4.patch/with/FAIL.nobootstrap:./gcc/testsuite/gnat/gnat.sum:FAIL: gnat.dg/lto8.adb (test for excess errors) test-pr51879.8.4.patch/with/FAIL.nobootstrap:./gcc/testsuite/gnat/gnat.sum:UNRESOLVED: gnat.dg/lto8.adb compilation failed to produce executable ... So I'm not sure that the failure is linked to --nobootstrap.
