[DejaGnu] Testsuite classification

[GNU Team]

I have a question regarding these testsuites.
How do I categorize them ?
i.e. after running the gcc 3.0 test suite on  gcc 2.95.3 (sh-coff-gcc)
I got about 4500 FAILS. (I ignored the 'tool init file warning')

Now, is there any document which classifies these errors ?
ie. which tests must PASS and which may not pass ?
Or does it mean that compiler has 4500 bugs which must be fixed ?

  I'm trying to reproduce this problem, but unfortunately, I haven't been
able to get either gcc 2.95.3 or 3.0 to build as a cross compiler for
any architecture. (I tried sparclite-elf, arm-elf, sh-hms, m68k-coff) I find
this irritating, cause I used to build cross compilers daily for many
years...
Once I get a cross compiler that works, I can look into this more. You may
be
able to run without the Tool init file (that's why it's a warning, not an
error), but I doubt it. It all depends on whether you have a standard
platform,
or custom hardware.

  Most of the time, the "make check" target does the right thing, so if you
haven't tried that, it might help.

  Definetely on the TODO list for DejaGnu development is to completely
rewrite
the cross testing configuration support, to be less obscure and
convoluted...
