[Ltrace-devel] current ltrace testing status

[Joe Damato]

Hi all -

I managed to get access to a few different architectures via the GCC
compile farm to test ltrace. These are my findings.

Architectures I could not get access to and have not tested:
alpha
cris
m68k
s390

Architectures I have access to but ltrace does not compile:
ppc32
sparc - does not build, but compilation error should be fixable,
probably a header inclusion bug of some sort.

Test results for the rest (from the test branch of my git tree):
x86_64 - all tests pass
x86 - 2 test failures (parameters.exp tests)
arm - 2 test failures (paramters.exp tests)
mips - 10 test failures (parameters.exp and libdl)
ia64 - 4 test failures (parameters.exp and libdl)
ppc64 - 43 test failures (my ppc64 build was EXTREMELY hacky and may
not have been done properly, this could use double checking by some
one with more ppc64 experience)

It is unclear to me which of these builds previously failed and which
failures are new. I can go through and check Juan's master against
each of these architectures and see if things got better, worse, or
stayed the same. If things got better or stayed the same, I'd be
inclined to just release what we have and then include bugfixes in a
soon to follow minor revision.

Any thoughts about this or other test results to share?
