Not so easy to reproduce and that disappear now running the test suite with 8.6. I was testing that week looking how to reproduce. At the 5 attempts I try entering the LFS compilation chroot with 8.5, when I try to run 'stty -icanon', it fail the first time but not after the first try. When I reboot, it fail again the first time and not later. I looked with strace and did not see a reason why the first attempt fail and not the second. > > The bad news is that it fail now on ppc in FAIL: misc/sort-float > > It's ok now with the patch on ppc. It's ppc32, not 64 (gcc have --with-long-double-128 option if that matter) Gilles
