RE: [GNU Autoconf 2.61] testsuite: 221 failed

[Sam Sexton]

Paul,

Thanks for the prompt response - I tried your suggestion (using my
favourite truss arguments) - it took yonks (possibly due to writing >2e6
lines to the truss file!) and worked perfectly. I'd already installed
autoconf and it did the trick, so I'm going to drop this problem.

Cheers,

/Sam

I cannot reproduce the problem on my Solaris 8 (sparc) host.

I notice yours hasn't been patched for a while (e.g., kernel patch
117350-08), whereas mine is a bit more up to date (117350-38).  Dunno if
that matters.

Perhaps you might truss it and see which process is getting the broken
pipe.  Something like this:

cd tests
truss -f -o truss.out ./testsuite -v -d 221

Admittedly this will generate a lot of output....
