Currently, I am getting the expected 501 failure for the newer version of
libtool, along with 503 which is due to new perl syntax.
Because I'm just being really, really picky, there is a patch for this in
the repo. Not sure what current status is WRT patching test suites for the
book, but the alternate was:
sed -e '/foreign/d' -e '/autoscan/d' -i tests/suite.at
That just kills tests 501-503 (502 normally passes). If you are also
seeing 279, I expect it is the same " ` " vs " ' ", but it gets skipped if
no longer have the old /lib/cpp symlink (books do not have the symlink any
longer, but I figure it might be lingering on a few machines yet). I
needed it during bootstrap (because I was getting rid of .la files) and
included it in final system, but it obviously wasn't needed (or wanted).
I know we've commented out failing tests at times, but thinking about it,
I prefer either fixing the bad test or just inserting a comment that
certain tests are known to fail (with a reason, if known).
