Description Letu Ren 2022-08-17 08:02:23 UTC 
Hi, I'm building glibc on ArchLinux RISCV64 with a unmatched board. Some tests failed due to timeout. As SiFive unmatched board is high performance, I think testsuite shouldn't time out on it. According to the release notes of glibc 2.36, only four tests failed. I wonder what hardware do developers use.

I'll list failing tests below. I can also list time consumed if needed.

FYI, my environment are Linux 5.18.3, gcc 12.1.1 20220730 and binutils 2.39.

Set --with-timeoutfactor as appropriate.
Comment 2 Letu Ren 2022-08-17 09:07:04 UTC 
Hi,

What is the appropriate argument of --with-timeoutfactor? Could you suggest one or should I try to find one myself?

The aim of our project is to bridge the gap of ArchLinux build system between x86_64 and RISCV64. So, is it possible to change the default timeout value?

Run the affected tests with increasing values for TIMEOUTFACTOR until they succeed in time.
