[Ultrix V4.3] Unexpected test failures

[Rainer Orth <ro at TechFak dot Uni-Bielefeld dot DE>]

After I successfully bootstrapped egcs 2.93.20 19990430 on Ultrix V4.3, I
had a look at those test failures which don't occur on other platforms:

See http://egcs.cygnus.com/ml/egcs-testresults/1999-05/msg00057.html for
the complete results.

* gcc.c-torture/compile/zero-strct-1.c:

FAIL: gcc.c-torture/compile/zero-strct-1.c,  -O1  
FAIL: gcc.c-torture/compile/zero-strct-1.c,  -O2  
FAIL: gcc.c-torture/compile/zero-strct-1.c,  -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer  
FAIL: gcc.c-torture/compile/zero-strct-1.c,  -O3 -g  
FAIL: gcc.c-torture/compile/zero-strct-1.c,  -Os  

  This fails with an as warning:

as1: Warning: /tmp/ccoCiaaa.s, line 1: Macro instruction used
as1: Warning: /tmp/ccoCiaaa.s, line 1: nop required before
		0x03e00008	jr	$31

  triggered by

        lw      $31,16($sp)
        #nop
        .set    noreorder
        .set    nomacro
        j       $31
        addu    $sp,$sp,24
        .set    macro
        .set    reorder

  The same assembler source works without problems with MIPS 3.0 as from
  Ultrix V4.5.

* Missing support for weak symbols shows up in several failures:

FAIL: gcc.dg/special/weak-1.c (test for excess errors)

/usr/lib/cmplrs/cc/ld:
weak-1a.o: foo: multiply defined

FAIL: gcc.dg/special/weak-2.c (test for excess errors)

/usr/lib/cmplrs/cc/ld:
weak-2b.o: foo: multiply defined

FAIL: gcc.dg/special/alias-1.c (test for excess errors)

/usr/lib/cmplrs/cc/ld:
Undefined:
foo

FAIL: gcc.dg/special/wkali-1.c (test for excess errors)

/usr/lib/cmplrs/cc/ld:
Undefined:
foo

FAIL: wkali-2a.o

wkali-2a.c:3: warning: alias definitions not supported in this configuration; ignored

  gcc.dg/special/ecos.exp (check_weak_available) claims that all mips
  targets support weak symbols, which isn't true for Ultrix V4.3: the MIPS
  2.1 assembler included in that version doesn't support .weakext, while
  MIPS 3.0 as (included in Ultrix V4.5, and to the best of my knowledge
  introduced in Ultrix V4.3A) does.

  This raises the question how best to handle such a case: one would like
  to support weak symbols where possible, but not produce errors if as/ld
  don't include this support.  Should this be checked by a target specific
  autoconf test?

FAIL: g++.pt/static3.C (test for excess errors)

/usr/lib/cmplrs/cc/ld:
Undefined:
A<int>::arr

  This test is expected to fail on targets without weak symbols (via XFAIL
  in static3.C), but it were probably best to use a (generalized) version
  of check_weak_available to handle this.

FAIL: g++.pt/static6.C (test for excess errors)

/usr/lib/cmplrs/cc/ld:
Undefined:
A<int>::l

  This seems to be the same issue, but there's no XFAIL in the source.

* This causes cc1plus to crash:

FAIL: g++.pt/crash1.C (test for excess errors)

pid 547 (cc1plus) was killed on an unaligned access, at pc 0x60067c 

* Internal assembler error in all Objective C tests:

FAIL: objc/execute/bf-1.m compilation,  -O 

as0: Internal: bf-1.m, line 1: scNil to scNil

  The problem persists with MIPS 3.0 as.  I have no idea how to attack
  this, since the line number info is useless (as[01] always emit
  `line 1'!), and don't care too much, as I don't know objc at all.
