Does this failure pattern indicate something?

[Kean Johnston <jkj at sco dot com>]

Hello everyone,

I've just (with the considerable help from H.J. Lu) finished getting the 
 GNU link editor working on OSR5, and now I have bootstrapped 3.4.1 
from cvs about an hour ago using it. This is the cleanest test run I 
have ever seen on this platform, so this is great progress. However, I 
am seeing a few failures that I suspect may indicate a misconfiguration 
on my part and I would like some advice. But first a quick question 
about one of the failures:
Executing on host: /u1/gcc/3.4-branch/osr5/gcc/xgcc 
-B/u1/gcc/3.4-branch/osr5/gcc 
/u1/gcc/3.4-branch/gcc/gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg/builtins-20.c   -O2 
-ffast-math -lm   -o builtins-20.exe    (timeout = 300)
/usr/tmp//ccEhCaGc.o(.text+0xe1): In function `test1f':^M
: undefined reference to `link_error'^M

and many more of the same undefined reference errors. Is this a bug in 
the testsuite? I looked at it and it sure seems that way - the function 
link_error simply isnt defined anywhere. Other than this failure the 
rest of the GCC tessuite is clean. G++ though has a few more errors:

FAIL: g++.dg/compat/eh/unexpected1 cp_compat_x_tst.o-cp_compat_y_tst.o 
execute
FAIL: g++.dg/eh/unexpected1.C execution test

FAIL: g++.old-deja/g++.mike/eh51.C execution test

Do these failures indicate a pattern? libstdc++ gets a whole set of 
failures that from my ignorant viewpoint may be related to some of these 
EH failures:

Any help at all would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
