Yeah, this is why I want FEATURES=3Dtest turned on for dev profiles. By the sheer number of packages that fail, it's obvious that most devs don't enable it. I know that some people will still disable it again, but I'm hoping it will at least raise the visibility of these problems. I try to file bugs for packages that fail, especially at gcc-porting time since we rely on testsuites to detect miscompiled code or other problems. = So a failure-free tree is something I'd like to work towards, even if it is a pipe dream. --=20 fonts, Character is what you are in the dark. gcc-porting, wxwidgets @ gentoo EFFD 380E 047A 4B51 D2BD C64F 8AA8 8346 F9A4 0662 --Sig_/=42.LZElFySpRa44Reru+vG Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Disposition: attachment; filename=signature.asc -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.11 (GNU/Linux) iEYEARECAAYFAkrNcycACgkQiqiDRvmkBmIpCgCgtkazih+s5LSmfEh9Z/gq81Jx S/IAniJjIHRbgND2VjoDxqeNMKXDyLNP =J7gr -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/=42.LZElFySpRa44Reru+vG--
