bug#28665: Testsuite summary for GNU sed 4.4 on Debian 8.8 PowerPC fails in 19 cases

[Dennis Clarke]

Dear SED types :


This was a real surprise ....

FAIL: testsuite/bug-regex7
FAIL: testsuite/bug-regex8
FAIL: testsuite/bug-regex9
FAIL: testsuite/bug-regex10
FAIL: testsuite/bug-regex11
FAIL: testsuite/bug-regex12
FAIL: testsuite/bug-regex13
FAIL: testsuite/bug-regex14
FAIL: testsuite/bug-regex15
FAIL: testsuite/bug-regex16
FAIL: testsuite/bug-regex21
FAIL: testsuite/bug-regex27
FAIL: testsuite/bug-regex28
FAIL: testsuite/tst-pcre
FAIL: testsuite/tst-boost
FAIL: testsuite/runtests
FAIL: testsuite/runptests
FAIL: testsuite/tst-rxspencer
FAIL: testsuite/tst-regex2

plus others.

In almost every case the test log claims the test binary can not be found!

deb8_ppc64$ cat ./testsuite/bug-regex7.log
make[5]: Entering directory 
'/usr/local/build/sed-4.4_linux_3.16.0-4-powerpc64.001'
echo "LC_ALL=C  ./bug-regex7 > `echo bug-regex7 | ./sed/sed s/$/.log/`"
LC_ALL=C  ./bug-regex7 > bug-regex7.log
/bin/sh: 1: ./bug-regex7: not found
/usr/local/build/sed-4.4_linux_3.16.0-4-powerpc64.001/testsuite/Makefile.tests:191: 
recipe for target 'bug-regex7' failed
make[5]: *** [bug-regex7] Error 127

'/usr/local/build/sed-4.4_linux_3.16.0-4-powerpc64.001'
FAIL testsuite/bug-regex7 (exit status: 2)
deb8_ppc64$


However it does exist just fine :


deb8_ppc64$ find . | grep "bug\-regex7" | xargs ls -lad
-rw-r--r-- 1 dclarke devl     0 Oct  1 22:55 ./bug-regex7.log

-rw-r--r-- 1 dclarke devl  2453 Oct  1 22:41 ./testsuite/.deps/bug-regex7.Po
deb8_ppc64$


The actual sed binary seems to exist just fine but it can not pass its 
own testsuite :
