Since I didn't find strub-unsupported*.c failed on ppc64 linux, to ensure it's
related, I reverted your commit r14-6838 and my fix r14-7089 locally and
supposed
to see those test cases failed on aix, but they passed. Then I tried to reset
the repo to r14-6275 which added those test cases, and supposed to see they
failed,
then they still passed. Not sure if I missed something in the testing, could
you
kindly double check if those test cases started to fail from r14-6275 on your
env? or some other specific commit? Or maybe directly verify if they can pass
on latest trunk with r14-6838 reverted. Just to ensure the reverting matches
our expectation. Thanks in advance!
btw, the command I used to test on aix is:
make check-gcc RUNTESTFLAGS="--target_board=unix'{-m64,-m32}'
dg.exp=strub-unsupported*.c"

Kewen
