oddball messages on FreeBSD that cause make to fail the testsuite

[Dennis Clarke]

I was really surprised to see this on amd64 FreeBSD 13.0 :


2 Tests in 1 Category Failed (See .diff* files in work dir for details) :-(

*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[2]: stopped in /opt/bw/build/make-4.3_fbsd13_amd64.001
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make[1]: stopped in /opt/bw/build/make-4.3_fbsd13_amd64.001
*** Error code 1

Stop.
make: stopped in /opt/bw/build/make-4.3_fbsd13_amd64.001


The diff files seem to be all about a compiler warning :

I went looking for this "testload" thingy and could not find it.
Any ideas ?
