libffi on PowerPC/AIX: aix_closure.S failure

[chennam]

Hi Anthony,

In my previous mail, I stated that aix_clsure.S produces core dump during
the tests.
After some investigation, I fixed an error in it: it is a braching error
after control is returned from
ffi_closure_helper_DARWIN(). Now the summery of test result is 

		=== libffi Summary ===

# of expected passes		1198
# of unexpected failures	398
# of unsupported tests	55

The majority  of the failed tests always have something like FAIL: ...
*output pattern test* ... 
PASS: libffi.call/testclosure.c -O2 -maix32 -fomit-frame-pointer (test for
excess errors)
PASS: libffi.call/testclosure.c -O2 -maix32 -fomit-frame-pointer execution
test
FAIL: libffi.call/testclosure.c -O2 -maix32 -fomit-frame-pointer output
pattern test, is 1.08484e-19 4.40403e-10 1.08478e-19 0
, should match 4 5 1 8

Not sure what it is about. I presume there still remain some bugs to fix. Do
you have an idea where the tests is carried out and where I should look for
?
