Hi Tim,

Sorry for the response latency.

Just for the record: was the system upgraded between those two builds?

Nope, they are very most likely correct output, but it's weird that it
shows up: without VERBOSE=x set as option, test/defs redirects stdout
and stderr of all tests to /dev/null.

Please rerun (all on one line)
  make check VERBOSE=x TESTS='demo-shared.test demo-make.test
       demo-exec.test demo-inst.test hardcode.test build-relink.test'
and check that the failing link is followed by
| Failed, as expected

If it isn't, please post the complete output.

Same thing here with
  make check VERBOSE=x TESTS='depdemo-shared.test depdemo-make.test
       depdemo-exec.test depdemo-inst.test build-relink2.test'

Independently: if the patch has any chance of being interesting for a
general audience, feel free to post it.  If it fixes a bug, we'll be
happy to accept it.

Thanks for reporting this, even if, most likely, it's a non-issue!

Cheers,
Ralf
