4.3.1 test failures on alphaev56-dec-osf4.0g (Tru64)

[Daniel Richard G.]

Hello Torbjorn,

There is a detail I neglected to mention: The quoted failures occurred
after configuring GMP using --with-pic --disable-shared. (I build with
these options so that a later GCC build can produce a static libgcc that
can be linked into shared libraries.)

I have since tried building and testing GMP with various combinations of
options. Here are the results:

(Note: Unless stated otherwise, the below-described configurations omit
--with-pic and --disable-shared, and use cc(1) with the default CFLAGS
of "-fast -arch ev56 -tune ev56")


* Configured with nothing (all default): Everything builds, all
  tests pass.

* Configured with --host=none: I got a link error building t-bswap:

* Configured with --with-pic: Everything builds, all tests pass.

* Configured with --disable-shared: Everything builds, tests fail.

* Configured with CFLAGS="-O0 -g2" and any combination of options:
  Everything builds, all tests pass.

The only way I could nail down a failure with debugging symbols in the
mix was to enable both optimization and debugging with CFLAGS="-fast
-arch ev56 -tune ev56 -g3" (plus --disable-shared to make things
easier).
Here is the dbx session:

----8<----
% dbx t-tdiv

---->8----

Thinking this could be a compiler error, I tried building GMP with GCC
4.4.0 + CFLAGS="-O0 -g3 -pedantic -Wa,-arch,ev56 -mcpu=ev56" (the
default flags, except for the first two). Exactly the same results as
with cc(1).

What else I should try?
