I noticed in building the current debian gcc-3.2 packages that I was getting a couple failures that Franz Sirl wasn't seeing on his ppclinux development machine. HJ Lu logged in and confirmed that these tests were reporting false falures and were in fact passing. He suggested I consider looking at the redhat bugzilla report...
http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=43310 and try the associated patch. I extracted this patch from the current rawhide tcltk package and rebuilt the debian expect package with it. Using this expect, the false failures disappeared and I now see exactly the same as Franz Sirl. The bug report for this and attached patch can be found at... http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=156854 If anyone is seeing suspicious failures in their gcc-3.2 builds they may want to try such a patched expect to see if they are caused by the same problem.
