bug#10790: guile-2.0.5 test fails on Solaris x86/x86_64

[Nelson H. F. Beebe]

guile-2.0.5 fails to build on Solaris x86/x86_64 with native cc or c99
due to compilation errors, but succeeds with gcc.  Unfortunately, no
gcc-4.x compiler release has ever built successfully on this platform,
so only the Sun/Oracle supplied /usr/sfw/bin/gcc (3.4.3) is available.
With it, compilation succeeds, but there are two test failures:

Assertion failed: SCM_I_IS_THREAD (data.thread), file threads.c, line 1135
/bin/bash: line 5: 18970 Abort                   (core dumped) srcdir="."
builddir="." CHARSETALIASDIR="/local/build/gcc/guile-2.0.5/lib"
GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 "../../meta/uninstalled-env" ${dir}$tst

/bin/bash: line 5: 19769 Segmentation Fault      (core dumped) srcdir="."
builddir="." CHARSETALIASDIR="/local/build/gcc/guile-2.0.5/lib"
GUILE_AUTO_COMPILE=0 "../../meta/uninstalled-env" ${dir}$tst
FAIL: test-unwind

With only one usable compiler, it is impossible to tell whether the
failure is due to a compiler code-generation error, or an error in
guile itself.  That, in my view, is a dreadful situation to be in.

I can supply tracebacks, if you folks can supply, or show how to find,
the commands that were actually executed that produced the test
failures.

Can you try from git?  We only got around to dealing with one of these
bugs after the release:

  http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10518.

Here is a current snapshot tarball:

  http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2036074/download/3/guile-2.0.5.41-2263c.tar.gz

I'm still interested in debugging this.  Here is a current tarball.

  http://hydra.nixos.org/build/2764848/download/3/guile-2.0.5.220-5f8d.tar.gz

We plan to release 2.0.6 tomorrow, FWIW.

Hi,

For some reason this mail went just to me instead of to the bug also.
For that reason I'm top-quoting all of it.  Anyway, we have had a couple
releases since this report, with lots of fixes.  Please open a new bug
for new build errors.  Thanks!

Andy
