yes, it'd be a bit harsh...

those tests are just set to xfail for coff-based targets. it's not good
because we may miss real bugs.

all ld bootstrap tests:

Running target unix
Running /cygdrive/j/src/sourceware/src/ld/testsuite/ld-bootstrap/bootstrap.exp ...
FAIL: bootstrap
FAIL: bootstrap with strip
FAIL: bootstrap with --static
FAIL: bootstrap with --traditional-format
FAIL: bootstrap with --no-keep-memory

they're all saying that

cmp tmpdir/ld2 tmpdir/ld3
tmpdir/ld2 tmpdir/ld3 differ: char 137, line 2
child process exited abnormally

Egor.            mailto:deo@logos-m.ru ICQ 5165414 FidoNet 2:5020/496.19
