[kaffe] [Bug Report] Kaffe 1.1.4 on GNU/Linux PowerPC: 2 of 144 tests failed

[Luca Saiu]

   Hi. I've compiled Kaffe 1.1.4 on my GNU/Linux PowerPC machine.
I used the just realeased GCC 3.3.3. I ran configure without parameters.

   Two tests failed, but for what I undestand they seem more like bugs 
in the testsuite apparatus than actual problems in Kaffe:

   The first failed test is TestSerialVersions. The behaviour is exactly 
the same I obtain compiling to native code with GCJ or using the GCJ JVM 
gij (either from bytecode generated by gcj or by the Kaffe compiler, 
nothing seems to change).
   The output is (only):
-------------------------------------------
Generating canonical stream
   Serializing TestSerialVersions$Test0001
     OK.
-------------------------------------------
   The comment at the end of the source file says it should be longer.

   The other failed test is GCTest. However I've run it several times, 
and the output, after it has been sorted, seems to be always identical 
to the one in the source file comment.
   Again, the behaviour is exactly the same with GCJ. The sorted output is:
-------------------------------------------

   I'm not sure there is some real problem, however the output from 
"make check" told me to report this as a problem, so I did :-).

   Thanks for your nice work.
