[SOLVED] binutils check fails

maschelsea · 04-02-2018, 08:48 PM

I've found one test that MIGHT fail here on the forums - dejagnu, which I'll ignore, but there are others also. I piped my run to a file. I'm not sure if this forum allows the necessary capacity to paste the entire file. At the end, I grepped the file for the string "Error" and came up with six:

Can these be safely ignored?

Code:

FAIL is the string to look for. The book mentions one test that fails.

Code:

(lfs chroot) root:/$ grep FAIL ~/binutils-check.txt 
FAIL: PLT PC-relative offset overflow check
(lfs chroot) root:/$

Is it safe for me to proceed? The FAIL I have was not the one mentioned in the book. If not, what should I do at this point?

I've been told a few times that a single unexpected failure isn't fatal. A string of them means that something is wrong.

So I can proceed? OK I'll try. Thank you for your help.
