[Bug fortran/29617] New: [4.3 regression] gfortran testsuite failure

[edmar at freescale dot com]

This problem happens only on 4.3, and only with target gnualtivec...
First noticed on snapshot of Oct 23

I have 4000+ gfortran tests failing because of a warning message from the
compiler. Here is an example:
/temp/gnu_toolchain/build_area/gcc-trunk/obj_gcc-trunk_7450/gcc/testsuite/gfortran/../../gfortran
-B/temp/gnu_toolchain/build_area/gcc-trunk/obj_gcc-trunk_7450/gcc/testsuite/gfortran/../../
/temp/gnu_toolchain/build_area/gcc-trunk/gcc-trunk/gcc/testsuite/gfortran.dg/char_unpack_2.f90
  -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer -funroll-loops   -pedantic-errors -c
/temp/gnu_toolchain/build_area/gcc-trunk/gcc-trunk/gcc/testsuite/gfortran.dg/char_unpack_2.f90:0:
warning: 'const' attribute directive ignored

4.2 does not have this problem, other 4.3 powerpc targets does not either...
(*-*-gnu, and *-*-gnuspe)

The compiler was configured with:
/temp/gnu_toolchain/build_area/gcc-trunk/obj_gcc-trunk_7450/gcc/testsuite/gfortran/../../gfortran
-v
Using built-in specs.
