[Bug testsuite/29760] 'make check' for gcc-3.4.6 fails

["sergstesh at yahoo dot com" <gcc-bugzilla at gcc dot gnu dot org>]

OK, being in

/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/gcc-3.4.6

directory, which is my 'obj' directory, I tried to run the 'test_summary'
mentioned at the bottom of http://gcc.gnu.org/install/test.html :

"
0.5 Submitting test results

If you want to report the results to the GCC project, use the
contrib/test_summary shell script. Start it in the objdir with

         srcdir/contrib/test_summary -p your_commentary.txt \
             -m gcc-testresults@gcc.gnu.org |sh

This script uses the Mail program to send the results, so make sure it is in
your PATH. The file your_commentary.txt is prepended to the testsuite summary
and should contain any special remarks you have on your results or your build
environment. Please do not edit the testsuite result block or the subject line,
as these messages may be automatically processed. 
".

Please pay attention to

"
This script uses the Mail program to send the results, so make sure it is in
your PATH
".

On my system:

"
[21] 1:20
sergei@comp.home.net:/maxtor5/sergei/AppsFromScratchWD/build/gcc-3.4.6> which
mail
/bin/mail
".

However, here's what I'm getting running the program:

"
../gcc-3.4.6.src/contrib/test_summary -p /dev/null -m sergstesh@yahoo.com | sh
/usr/sbin/sendmail: No such file or directory
"/ibm/home/sergei/dead.letter" 103/2351
. . . message not sent.
".

So, should I file a bug against http://gcc.gnu.org/install/test.html because of
'mail' <-> /usr/sbin/sendmail discrepancy ?

Anyway, I looked into /ibm/home/sergei/dead.letter file and it contains pretty
much the same info I've already posted.

If you insist, I can install /usr/sbin/sendmail and try again.

Maybe you already have enough info to tell me which of the tests fail due to:

1) problems in the compiler;
2) problems in glibc;
3) problems in the tests themselves ?

Thanks in advance.
