[Gnu-arch-users] GCC v. Arch address@hidden: Regressions on mainline]

[Tom Lord]

Fairly recently we chatted on the list about the GCC commit rate (or,
more precisely, we talked about about very high commit rates generally
but in a thread that made it obvious we were thinking about GCC).

Some would say, of _any_ high commit rate --- any rate too high for
developers to keep up-to-date with --- "Hey, use branches more.  Slow
down there, partner."   They would be right, 90% of the time.

In this forward, though, is evidence that GCC is in the 10%:

Nobody cares that you can't really keep up with GCC mainline.   
You can't "keep up" -- but you can do what Mark is doing here.   And
that's the whole point of an integration branch.

On the mainline, I'm seeing failures with stack-1.C, gcov-1.C, and warn7.C.

Since we have a policy of not checking things without running tests, and 
yet I'm seeing these failures on multiple platforms, I'm perplexed as to 
what has transpired.

Would someone please explain why these tests are failing and what is 
being done to fix them?
