Re: BUG #4190: sparc64 test suite fails

The full build log is
http://sparc.koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/getfile?taskID=56849&name=build.log

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

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