>> On Debian 9.1.0 / x86 (a machine with glibc 2.24) ... >> 3 tests fail
For me on Debian 9.13 amd64 (a machine with glibc 2.24) it remains just the one failure, the one I alluded to in https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?63016, so it's not very new. Indeed, output below suggests it's several years and releases old. > Is there any possibility of seeing the output Certainly, but I still don't want to spam the list to death with the whole thing and I didn't spot anything interesting. make check-local make[2]: Entering directory '/home/martind/download/make' cd tests && perl -w ./run_make_tests.pl -srcdir /home/martind/download/make -make ../make Name "main::testee_version" used only once: possible typo at ./run_make_tests.pl line 598.

Perhaps it's to make light of the one that isn't (far as I see) a regression. ________________________________ From: Bug-make <bug-make-bounces+martin.dorey=hds....@gnu.org> on behalf of Paul Smith <psm...@gnu.org> Sent: Tuesday, October 18, 2022 19:58 To: Bruno Haible <br...@clisp.org>; bug-make@gnu.org <bug-make@gnu.org> Subject: Re: GNU make 4.3.91 on Debian 9.1 ***** EXTERNAL EMAIL ***** On Wed, 2022-10-19 at 01:43 +0200, Bruno Haible wrote: > On Debian 9.1.0 / x86 (a machine with glibc 2.24), the compilation > succeeds but 3 tests fail. Is there any possibility of seeing the output generated during these runs, in addition to the work directory? The output generated often has useful information.
