Bug#972510: (no subject)

[John Paul Adrian Glaubitz <glaubitz@physik.fu-berlin.de>]

Source: glibc
Version: 2.31-4
Severity: normal
User: debian-sparc@lists.debian.org
Usertags: alpha hppa ia64 m68k sh4 sparc64

Hello!

The two tests:

FAIL: misc/tst-sbrk
FAIL: misc/tst-sbrk-pie

fail on multiple architectures.

According to the discussion in #debian-ports, the tests are broken and not really necessary anyway:

  jrtc27 | misc/tst-sbrk and/or misc/tst-sbrk-pie seem to be failing on a *lot* of architectures
  jrtc27 | if it were up to me the problem would be solved by just deleting sbrk...
  jrtc27 | FreeBSD just took the stance of not implementing them for new ports
  jrtc27 | so it's arm64 and riscv64 ports just have no sbrk
  jrtc27 | cbmuser: looks like the tests are Debian-specific
  jrtc27 | added as part of Hurd sbrk reworking to test it didn't break

Can we disable them? With the tests disabled, glibc should pass its testsuite on at least alpha and
sparc64. Not sure what the problem with hppa is at the moment.

Thanks,
Adrian
