I'm just flagging it up as "this happens" because if you believe a large number of test failures is probably bad, there would appear to be a problem - and I think everything is ok. ISTR it was probably this same hardware where I first saw a lot of similar failures earlier this year. Looking at the log from my build on my phenom at the start of August (gcc-6.1.0) that also had 1113 failures here. ĸen -- `I shall take my mountains', said Lu-Tze. `The climate will be good for them.' -- Small Gods -- http://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/listinfo/lfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/faq/ Unsubscribe: See the above information page
