Re: [opensoftware] [sr #110849] make check darwin.at test fails on Linux

> Was this run on a git checkout or distribution tarball?

tarball:
https://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.4.7.tar.gz

> You bring up a good question. If it's a git checkout I think it makes sense to run these since it may detect potential portability issues for Darwin hosts that are observable from Linux systems. It may also make sense to run some of these tests even in a distributed tarball if they are trying to detect cross-compilation issues from a Linux build system for Darwin hosts/targets.

I wanted to run make check to see if the build was successful and i was happy to see that there are a lot of tests.
I am not sure if i can expect to get an exit code 0 after that or if i just have to check the results if the failed tests really matter to me.
But i was curious since it was only the one test which i would have expected to be skipped in the first place.

> Overall it's a good question though and I'd like to understand more about why they're running because it's certainly possible that they should be skipped or that the test suite isn't detecting the build/host system properly.

Please let me know if you need any further information.
I am happy if i can help.
