Re: gcc 4.4.0 on Solaris 10 Sparc, some tests failed.

Thanks.

Now I have a few questions.

You mentioned that the "make -k # check" is broken on Solaris.

I built the compiler using the -k option, is that a concern?
or is it just the "check" target is broken?
IOW, should I build the compiler without the "-k" option?

At this point, should I do the next build using the recently
built gcc 4.4.0? 

btw, is there a quick tutorial on running the tests against
an arbitrary compiler, that's installed on a given machine ?  

Thanks for your help.

Best regards
Amitava Dutta

Probably, although the number of libgomp failures is high.? You might want to 
try with the GNU assembler instead of the Sun assembler, the latter is barely 
maintained by Sun.
