Re: BUG #4190: sparc64 test suite fails

The full build log is=20
http://sparc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=3D56849&name=3Dbuil=
d.log

the build was using gcc-4.3  with the package as built on the rest of fedor=
a.=20=20
it builds ok sparc32 ppc ppc64 i386 x86_64 and ia64  but fails on sparc64.=
=20=20

I will forward everything to the gcc guys in a bug report.=20=20
