This is the output from make check for glibc build on alpha.
FC4/5 seems to ignore this failures. Because this is build for alpha and not for
x86, I report it here, not at fedore bugzilla.

make check should run without error.

See attachment.

I reported some problems a time ago to mr. drepper and got no answer.. :-((

The problem with "write successful" which should be block, is
the same on alpha and x86.
The test tf_write() writes to a pipe, and this should block the call.

man write:
"If the O_NONBLOCK flag is clear, a write request may cause the thread to block,
but on normal completion it will return
nbyte."
Independently from the ulimit and PIPE_SIZE values, the write() call blocks
for linux alpha and x86 with kernel 2.6.15 beginning with a size of 1024*1024 byte.

With this patch to tf_write() the tests runs without problem:

This is fixed differently for quite some time.  Check the current sources.
