Hi Janne,

The trunk didn’t build for me the first time I tried soon after your initial email and it took me until yesterday to find time to try again.  Once I succeeded, the patch created three new test failures.  I’m wondering if Andre’s recent patch (r257813) helped reduce the number.  All new failures involve the failed-images features developed by Alessandro and Andre, both of whom now have new employment or contracts that prevent making significant contributions to OpenCoarrays (although I hope that will change and am working with Alessandro’s organization to attempt to get some of his time allocated to gfortran/OpenCoarrays development).

I think the most sustainable path forward is for me to assist any interested gfortran developer in building OpenCoarrays on your local system and running the test suite.  At least that eliminates the reliance on OpenCoarrays developers to run the tests every time a patch impacts OpenCoarrays.  If we can work together on building OpenCoarrays on your system, we can also look together at the requisite changes to see if we can eliminate the failures.

Oxford University Ph.D. student Daniel Garza visit Sourcery Institute March 17 - June 2 to integrate the building of OpenCoarrays into the GCC build system so I hope this will all be easier sooner.
