[gnutls-devel] GnuTLS 3.5.8 testsuite error on test-strverscmp

[Antonio Diaz Diaz]

Hello Nikos et al, :-)

While testing gnutls-3.5.8 on a 32-bit GNU/Linux system with glibc-2.5 
and gcc-4.1.2, I got the following error:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
../../build-aux/test-driver: line 107: 17413 Aborted "$@" >$log_file 2>&1
FAIL: test-strverscmp
--------------------------------------------------------------------

I think this error is caused by a bug in glibc, but as gnutls checks 
libc functions, it would be nice to mention in INSTALL or README the 
oldest version of glibc known to work.

(Latest versions of both libnettle and gmplib compiled and passed all 
the tests on this same system).

I also got a lot of warnings. I attach the full logs for 'make' and 
'make -k check', but I list here some of the most interesting warnings:

--------------------------------------------------------------------
