I'm having massive failures with the Dejagnu testsuite, by which I mean
21 failures and only 3 passes!
Dejagnu itself seems fine, because I installed it anyway and used it to
successfully run binutils and gcc testsuites with identical results to
previous builds.
The only thing that i could see is the fact that dejagnu is a temp tool
that does not require a test suite... something on the host could be
screwing with it, but if it works then i would disregard it
Strictly speaking, it is a temp tool as far as LFS is concerned, but it is
also a useful package to have around and I consider it a fairly important
part of a complete toolchain/development environment.
I prefer to have a measure of confidence in a program before installing it,
rather than just blindly installing and hoping I won't discover an issue
further down the chain...
And it's not like I'm doing this just once! I am busy developing a kind-of
customized A,B,C-LFS of my own, so lots of packages being recompiled and
comparison of test-suite results provides useful 'checkpoints'.
