I can do that too. Here is a diff of the result of "../gcc_trunk/contrib/test_summary -t", watch: # gdiff -Naur /mail-4.4.0_20090125-408-1.txt /mail-4.4.0_20090125-408-2.txt (nothing printed) The Expect scripts are not guaranteed to 'grep' every aspect of the ".log" files. Andrew says: "The correct procedure to compare logs is with '../gcc_trunk/contrib/compare_tests' ...". The PASS / FAIL does not show up for anything the scripts do not see _and_ the tests we do have do not test every aspect of gcc. Even my simple proof will miss further proofs. This Bug Report already established that there was concerns about this Bug before "H.J. Lu" reopened and duped my other Bug Report to here. Are "H.J. Lu" et. al. and myself missing something ?
