Speaking only for myself, I don't understand the glibc build process well enough to know whether such a message indicates a real problem. The book has a lot of discussion about possible error messages but it doesn't mention this one. It seemed reasonable to ask the support list about it. > Yes, this particular test is expected to fail, and it will *not* > cause the whole testsuite to end with > > make: *** [check] Error 2 > > If you see that, one or more of the tests really failed. That's useful! It would be nice if the book documented that (a) the annexc.out test is expected to fail, (b) the critical test is whether you see "make: *** [check] Error 2" at the end. Would it help if I submitted a bug and/or proposed some text? Thanks for the help (though not for the grumpiness).
