There's at least one further issue (referred to in the wiki list
<http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Development_Todo/Master#Testing>) that I
forgot to include in my list:
Testing with cross-test-ssh.sh depends on that script passing environment
variables (outside of a blacklist) to the system running tests. It would
be rather cleaner if all cases where an environment variable is needed
there passed it via $(test-wrapper-env) (in some cases, a variable may be
needed on both systems), so that the test-wrapper didn't need to pass down
the full environment.
(You'd still need to pass down TIMEOUTFACTOR, or provide another way to
set it.)
And see the following
<http://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Development_Todo/Master#Cross_build_.2BAC8_test_improvements>
regarding lack of cross-testing support for the conform/ tests.
