Help with binutils-cvs 2002-02-15 test results interpretation on sparc-linux

[c.christian.joensson@telia.com]

Hello.

I'd just like to get some help on finding out how binutils works on.

First, two general questions:

- Are there scripts in the binutils cvs similar to gcc_update and
test_summary available in the gcc cvs sources?

- Can I somehow automatically "merge" the binutils and gcc cvs
sources so that I kan test compile and check the two sources jointly?


Then, here are my test results for binutils cvs 2002-02-15 on Debian
woody (test release) up to date as of 2002-02-15 with installed

binutils_2.11.92.0.12.3-4_sparc.deb
dejagnu_1.4-4_all.deb
libc6_2.2.4-7_sparc.deb

                === binutils tests ===

                === binutils Summary ===

My results for aurora build-0.2 (Red Hat 7.2 based sparc-linux) will
have to wait, I can't acces them right now.
