Re: [PATCH 6/7] Convert file name to toolchain format when invoking $NM.

Peter, Charles,

I understand that you're doing a difficult bug hunt here, and 6/7 is the
only unapplied patch of this series (right?).  I've looked at 6/7 again,
and conclude that it has a low chance of regressing.

If it makes things easier for you, then I'm fine with you going ahead
and applying the patch.

Secondly, I can help with unsupervised git bisect if you need.  In
<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-libtool/2010-09/msg00006.html>,
I posted a bisect script for a slightly different bug; for your case,
you should adjust reconfdirs (for efficiency) and TESTS and the failure
grep.  In the 'git bisect start' command line, you need to specify one
known-bad and one known-good revision.

Last but not least, IIUC then you've complained about possibly multiple
failures masking.  Is this specifically about the stresstest?  To
alleviate this in the future, we can modify stresstest to fan it out
into several test groups (so separate issues have a higher chance of
producing separate failures), or modify it so it runs all tests (even if
some failed earier) and summarizes the failing instances at the end.
Suggestions?

Thanks,
Ralf
