test for excess errors

[Jack Howarth]

   Is it the expected behavior for dejagnu to always report warnings
as errors in the "test for excess errors" check? Is this a design
decision or just how dejagnu currently works? I ask because the
current output of "test for excess errors" when a FAIL occurs can
be inaccurate. With -m64 on Darwin we currently get a significant number 
of false positives in the fortran testsuite due to linker warnings being
mistaken for errors. Thanks in advance for any clarifications.
