        make[2]: Leaving directory `/media/boole-data/thomas/tmp/gnu-0/src/glibc/string'

    Might simply be a missing patch(es) from master.

  * --build=X

    `long double` test: due to `cross_compiling = maybe` wants to execute a
    file, which fails.  Thus `--build=X` has to be set.

  * `sysdeps/i386/stackguard-macros.h`

    See [[t/tls|t/tls]].

  * Verify 77c84aeb81808c3109665949448dba59965c391e against
    `~/shared/glibc/make_TAGS.patch`.

  * `HP_SMALL_TIMING_AVAIL` not defined anywhere.

  * Unify `CPUCLOCK_WHICH` stuff in `clock_*` files.

  * Not all tests are re-run in a `make -k tests; make tests-clean; make -k
    tests` cycle.  For example, after `make tests-clean`:

        $ find ./ -name \*.out
        ./localedata/tst-locale.out
        ./localedata/sort-test.out
        ./localedata/de_DE.out

  * Missing interfaces, amongst many more.

    Many more are missing, some of which have been announced in `NEWS`, others
    typically haven't (like new flags to existing functions).  Typically,
    porters will notice missing functionaly.  But in case you're looking for
    something to work on, here's a list.

    `AT_EMPTY_PATH`, `CLOCK_BOOTTIME`, `CLOCK_BOOTTIME_ALARM`,
    `CLOCK_REALTIME_ALARM`, `O_PATH`,
    `PTRACE_*` (for example, cbff0d9689c4d68578b6a4f0a17807232506ea27),
    `RLIMIT_RTTIME`, `SEEK_DATA` (`unistd.h`), `SEEK_HOLE` (`unistd.h`)
    `clock_adjtime`, `fallocate`, `fallocate64`, `name_to_handle_at`,
    `open_by_handle_at`, `process_vm_readv`, `process_vm_writev`, `sendmmsg`,
    `setns`, `sync_file_range`

    Check also the content of `gnu/stubs-32.h`, which lists all the functions
    marked as stub which only return `ENOSYS`.

      * `chflags`

        Patch sent, [[!message-id "20120427012130.GZ19431@type.famille.thibault.fr"]].

        IRC, OFTC, #debian-hurd, 2012-04-27:

            <Steap> Does anyone have any idea why int main(void) { return
              chflags(); } will compile with gcc but not with g++ ? It says
              that "chflags" was not declared in this scope.
            <Steap> I get the same error on FreeBSD, but including sys/stat.h
              makes it work
            <Steap> Can't find a solution on Hurd though :/
            <youpi> the Hurd doesn't have chflags
            <youpi> apparently linux neither
            <youpi> what does it do?
            <Steap> change flags :)
            <Steap> Are you sure the Hurd does not have chflags ? Because gcc
              does not complain
            <youpi> there is no chflags function in /usr/include
            <youpi> but what flags does it change?
            <Steap> According to the FreeBSD manpage, it can set flags such as
              UF_NODUMP, UF_IMMUTABLE etc.
            <youpi> Hum, there is actually a chflags() definition
            <youpi> but no declaration
            <youpi> so actually chflags is supported, but the declaration was
              forgotten
            <youpi> probably because since linux doens't have it, it has never
              been a problem up to now
            <youpi> so I'd say ignore the error for now, we'll add the
              declaration

      * `getcontext`/`setcontext`

        Needed for [[gccgo]].

        IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2012-04-19:

            <gnu_srs> How much work/knowledge is needed to implement
              getcontext/setcontext?
            <gnu_srs> Any already implemented alternatives available?
            <youpi> x86 registers knowledge, as well as unix signal masks
            <youpi> there's the linux implementation that can be taken as an
              exxample, but the signal part has to be rewritten
            <gnu_srs> Well, it's a pity they are not implemented. That's the
              remaining hurdle to get gccgo working :-( 
            <youpi> uh :/
            <gnu_srs> Everything builds, but the testsuite fails due to these
              missing functions.
            <gnu_srs> Regarding getcontext/setcontext they seem to be written
              in assembly for linux but the code is not very long. 
            <gnu_srs> How much effort would it be to write something similar
              for Hurd? Anybody fluent in asm?
            <gnu_srs> And registers and signals.
            <tschwinge> gnu_srs: Signals is the key thing -- everything else we
              can probably just copy.  I have never/not yet looked at it,
              though.
            <gnu_srs> For kfreebsd it is written in C: kern_context.c, 3/4 in
              one file: getcontext, setcontext,  swapcontext, not makecontext.
            <gnu_srs> Dunno how much assembly calls used though.
            <gnu_srs> Hi, any preferences about implementing get/setcontext in
              C or Asm?
            <tschwinge> gnu_srs: I think these will have to be implemented in
              assembly.  Based on the Linux x86 variants.

        IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2012-04-20:

            <tschwinge> youpi: Your understanding of that is better than mine
              -- the *context stuff can't be very useful at the moment, because
              when the user changes uc_stack.ss_sp (which the glibc tests are
              doing), we're losing access to the _hurd_threadvars.  Correct?
            <tschwinge> At least the getcontext test works, the other get a
              SIGILL.
            <tschwinge> others
            <tschwinge> _hurd_threadvars issue is just guessing.
            <youpi> tschwinge: yes, threadvars are on the stack
            <youpi> threadvars is not much code, it should just work, but care
              has to be taken on the libpthread/libthread side, which does some
              initialization
            <tschwinge> OK, that at least matches my understanding.

      * [[`mremap`|mremap]]

      * `futimesat`

        If we have all of 'em (check Linux kernel), `#define __ASSUME_ATFCTS`.

      * `bits/stat.h [__USE_ATFILE]`: `UTIME_NOW`, `UTIME_OMIT`

      * `io/fcntl.h [__USE_ATFILE]`

        Do we support `AT_FDCWD` et al.?
        (80b4e5f3ef231702b24d44c33e8dceb70abb3a06.)

      * `MAP_POPULATE` (`mmap`, `sys/mman.h`) -- *Populate (prefault)
        pagetables.*

        Some Linux kernel version, `mm/mmap.c`:

                if (vm_flags & VM_LOCKED) {
                        if (!mlock_vma_pages_range(vma, addr, addr + len))
                                mm->locked_vm += (len >> PAGE_SHIFT);
                } else if ((flags & MAP_POPULATE) && !(flags & MAP_NONBLOCK))
                        make_pages_present(addr, addr + len);
                return addr;

        Is only advisory, so can worked around with `#define MAP_POPULATE 0`,
        8069478040336a7de3461be275432493cc7e4c91.

      * `t/opendirat`: `opendirat` (`scandirat`, `scandirat64`)

        Need changes equivalent to c55fbd1ea768f9fdef34a01377702c0d72cbc213 +
        14d96785125abee5e9a49a1c3037f35a581750bd.

      * `madvise`, `MADV_DONTNEED`, `MADV_DONTDUMP`, `MADV_DODUMP`

        [[glibc_madvise_vs_static_linking]].

      * `msync`

        Then define `_POSIX_MAPPED_FILES`, `_POSIX_SYNCHRONIZED_IO`.

      * `sys/epoll.h`

        Used by [[wayland]], for example.

      * `sys/eventfd.h`

      * `sys/inotify.h`

      * `sys/signalfd.h`

      * `sys/timerfd.h`

      * `timespec_get` (74033a2507841cf077e31221de2481ff30b43d51)

      * `waitflags.h` (`WEXITED`, `WNOWAIT`, `WSTOPPED`, `WCONTINUED`)

        IRC, freenode, #hurd, 2012-04-20:

            <pinotree> in glibc, we use the generic waitflags.h which, unlike
              linux's version, does not define WEXITED, WNOWAIT, WSTOPPED,
              WCONTINUED
            <pinotree> should the generic bits/waitflags.h define them anyway,
              since they are posix?
            <youpi> well, we'd have to implement them anyway
            <youpi> but otherwise, I'd say yes
            <pinotree> sure, but since glibc headers should expose at least
              everything declared by posix, i thought they should be defined
              anyway
            <youpi> that might bring bugs
            <youpi> some applications might be #ifdefing them
            <youpi> and break when they are defined but not working
            <pinotree> i guess they would define them to 0, andd having them to
              non-zero values shouldn't break them (since those values don't do
              anything, so they would act as if they were 0.. or not?)
            <youpi> no, I mean they would do something else, not define them to
              0
            <pinotree> like posix/tst-waitid.c, you mean?
            <youpi> yes

    For specific packages:

      * [[octave]]

  * Create `t/cleanup_kernel-features.h`.

  * Add tests from Linux kernel commit messages for `t/dup3` et al.

  * In `sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/Makefile`, there are a bunch of
    `-DHAVE_SENDFILE` -- but we do have `sendfile`, too.

    Define `__ASSUME_SENDFILE` to 1 in `kernel-features.h`, if `sendfile`
    works.

  * `/usr/include/pthread.h` overwrite issue

    `make`, after editing `nss/nss_db/db-initgroups.c`:

        [...]
        make[2]: Leaving directory `/media/erich/home/thomas/tmp/glibc/tschwinge/Roger_Whittaker/resolv'

    See [[!message-id "871uv99c59.fsf@kepler.schwinge.homeip.net"]].  Passing
    `install_root=/INVALID` to `make`/`make check` is a cheap cure.  For `make
    install`, prepending an additional slash to `install_root` (that is,
    `install_root=//[...]`) is enough to obfuscate the Makefile rules.

This needs roughly X min on kepler.SCHWINGE and 60 min on coulomb.SCHWINGE.

Specifying `fast-check=yes` disables the `conformtest` which takes 1.75 h (out
of 2.75 h total) on coulomb.SCHWINGE, doesn't pass anyway, and clearly isn't
our most critical issue to solve.

  * `tst-waitid.out`

    Fails sometimes (is listed in Debian eglibc-2.13-21's
    `expected-results-i486-gnu-libc`).


### Additional Failures Compared to Debian (OLD)

    $ bash ~/tmp/glibc/debian/eglibc-2.13/debian/testsuite-checking/compare.sh ~/tmp/glibc/debian/eglibc-2.13/debian/testsuite-checking/expected-results-i486-gnu-libc log_test.filtered

  * `bug-atexit3.out`, `debug/tst-chk4`, `debug/tst-chk5`, `debug/tst-chk6`,
    `debug/tst-lfschk4`, `debug/tst-lfschk5`, `debug/tst-lfschk6`

        dlopen failed: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    See [[!message-id "20090420002344.11798.qmail@s461.sureserver.com"]].
    Hacked around with `ln -s /usr/lib/i386-*gnu/libstdc++.so.6
    /lib/i386-*gnu/libpthread-stubs.so.0 /lib/i386-*gnu/libgcc_s.so.1 ./`.
    This is a bug in the glibc test harness.  Should probably use some
    `configure` magic akin to the `fixincludes` stuff (`gcc-4.4
    -print-file-name=libstdc++.so.6`, etc.).

  * `debug/tst-chk4`, `debug/tst-chk5`, `debug/tst-chk6`, `debug/tst-lfschk4`,
    `debug/tst-lfschk5`, `debug/tst-lfschk6`

    Fail in the same way as the C ones, `tst-chk1..3`.

        /home/thomas/tmp/glibc/tschwinge/Roger_Whittaker.build-gcc-4.4-486.O/io/ftwtest: error while loading shared libraries: libmachuser.so.1: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

    Looking into `localedata/bug-setlocale1.c`, it is clear what it going on:
    only the root of the build directory is added for `--library-path`, but
    none of the other directories that are additionally used.  This is a bug in
    the glibc test harness.  Hacked around by `ln -s mach/libmachuser.so.1
    hurd/libhurduser.so.0.3 ./`.  Hopefully the other instances are similar.

  * `posix/tst-getconf`

    It fails because of unimplemented pathconf cases: `_PC_ALLOC_SIZE_MIN`,
    `_PC_REC_INCR_XFER_SIZE`, `_PC_REC_MAX_XFER_SIZE`, `_PC_REC_MIN_XFER_SIZE`,
    `_PC_REC_XFER_ALIGN`, `_PC_SYMLINK_MAX`, `_PC_2_SYMLINKS`.

    `_CS_GNU_LIBPTHREAD_VERSION` will be cleanly solved with
    [[!message-id "201209302353.51055.toscano.pino@tiscali.it"]] and libpthread
    compiled as add-on.

    Ends with:

        getconf POSIX_ALLOC_SIZE_MIN /: /home/thomas/tmp/glibc/tschwinge/Roger_Whittaker.build-gcc-4.4-486/posix/getconf: pathconf: /: Invalid argument

    SIGKILL.

  * `inet/tst-ether_line`

        tst-ether_line.c:19: error: 'ETH_ALEN' undeclared (first use in this function)

    Will either need a `hurd/netinet/if_ether.h` that includes
    `<net/if_ether.h>`, or can do that in the generic `netinet/if_ether.h`?
    See also [[!sourceware_PR 11142]].

        getcontext failed, errno: 1073741902.

    Is not implemented; see above.  In 8958805c11c741d9211e20612c86271d906c9a0b
    testing, `stdlib/bug-getcontext.out` now says: *Skipping test; no support

  * `math/test-fenv.out`

    Used to fail (is listed in Debian eglibc-2.13-21's
    `expected-results-i486-gnu-libc`), but something between
    22bcba37dd3b782b1a1ec7bf51da468e48f4d2eb and
    005b7594ffe209639dd1ef2b9ed9a4c22307dec1 causes it to passe -- very likely
    Jérémie's signaling work.

  * `posix/tst-waitid.out`

    Fails sometimes (is listed in Debian eglibc-2.13-21's
    `expected-results-i486-gnu-libc`).

    As of 8958805c11c741d9211e20612c86271d906c9a0b, this test now passes --
    correct?


## OLD

`configure --without-cvs --prefix= --disable-profile --build=i486-gnu
--host=i486-gnu`

`make -k check` changes from 538603af899057a9ef9583cc447804ec602a45e5 to
c9fd33ef070def49c078c94f8d9bc9f8a8e267f7.

Configured with `--prefix=/usr` instead of `--prefix=`.

New:

  * A lot of `error while loading shared libraries: libmachuser.so.1: cannot
    open shared object file: No such file or directory`.  Is it perhaps picking
    that library up from `$prefix/lib/`?

    New failures; likely due to that:

      * iconvdata/iconv-test.out
      * iconvdata/tst-tables.out
      * malloc/tst-mtrace.out
      * grp/tst_fgetgrent.out
      * posix/globtest.out
      * posix/wordexp-tst.out
      * io/ftwtest.out
      * elf/tst-pathopt.out

    Changed failures; likely due to that:

      * debug/tst-chk4.out / debug/tst-chk5.out

            -error while loading shared libraries: libstdc++.so.6: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
