Spurious testsuite failures on multi-cpu sparc-solaris2.9

[Kaveh R. Ghazi]

I'm trying to test GCC on a 4 cpu sparc-sun-solaris2.9 box using
expect-5.42.1, tcl8.4.7 and dejagnu-1.4.4.  I'm getting lots of
spurious testsuite failures probably related to the solaris kernel bug
mentioned here: http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc/2004-04/msg01480.html

Does any one know if bug 4927647 is addressed in any patch from Sun
yet?  Is the expect patch mentioned here helpful at all?
http://kegel.com/crosstool/current/patches/expect-5.39/pr12096.patch

Any help would be appreciated, my GCC testsuite results are useless at
the moment.  I'd really like to take full advantage of this box.

		Thanks,

PS: I'm not a Sun customer, so I can't pester them to fix anything.  I
just want to know if there's a patch yet.  Maybe I can cajole my
sysadmin into getting it installed.
