As far as I can gather from the listing on the GCC tests page
GCC-3.2.1 should build OK on Solaris2.9, and pass the tests.
However on my system I get the following results at the end of
running make check, and I don't know if the deviations are
significant or not.

Built with ../gcc-3.2.1/configure --with-as=/usr/local/bin/as
--with-ld=/usr/local/bin/ld and using the latest binutils
(../binutils-2.13.2.1) and building with the Sun supplied
GCC 2.95.3
On an Enterprise 250 (sparc v9) Solaris 2.9 system.
Should I "expect the unexpected" failures or not? There is some
evidence in the documentation on the testing pages that this testing
code is not as up-to-date as they maintainers would wish, (given the
usual constraints on volunteer based softare development), so this
may not be a daft a question as it looks :-) I hope!
Thank you,
Hugh
