OK.
Let me report another problem though: very recently (3 days ago), 22 Java
failures have been introduced on SPARC (44 for a multiarch compiler):
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2005-04/msg00389.html
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-testresults/2005-04/msg00508.html
on 4.0 branch.
I've never seen these failures, they are brand new problems. As I've never
debugged interpreted Java tests, I'm a little at a loss, but I think the Java
compiler might be miscompiled (I recompiled libjava a few times with rebuild
but not bootstrapped compilers and didn't get the failures). I'm currently
trying to pinpoint the patch.
What's your position on this?
