In tests/Makefile.am, there is XFAIL_TESTS = \ all.test \ auxdir2.test \ cond17.test \ txinfo5.test
and I am getting confused by: GNU Make 3.81 env VERBOSE=x TESTS='all.test auxdir2.test cond17.test txinfo5.test' gmake -e check ^^^^^ ===================================== 4 of 4 tests failed Please report to [EMAIL PROTECTED] ===================================== as opposed to BSD make in NetBSD-current/i386 env VERBOSE=x TESTS='all.test auxdir2.test cond17.test txinfo5.test' make -e check ^^^^ ===================================================== All 4 tests behaved as expected (4 expected failures) ===================================================== ?! Bug in gmake? Cheers, Patrick
