-alpha-dec-osf4.0a, vendor compiler, 2000-03-04
-
-Still has many compile warnings (mostly relating back to PTR vs void*)
-but it did compile using:
-
- CC=cc .../configure
- make
-
-Test results are:
-
-# of expected passes 6223
-# of unexpected failures 103
-# of unexpected successes 2
-# of expected failures 196
-# of unresolved testcases 6
-# of unsupported tests 1
-
-Looking at the output it would appear that GDB is stepping into some
-functions instead of ``next'' ing over them:
-
- 35 dummy();
- (gdb) next
- dummy () at /home/cagney/GDB-DEJAGNU/src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.base/all-types.c:41
- 41 {
-
-Since there is no active maintainer, I'd consider this sufficient for
-5.0 :-/

-not a show stopper. Nick D's still looking at it.
