Testresults for gawk 3.1.7

Hello,

gawk 3.1.7 has been uploaded to Debian experimental, but it seems
there are failures in the testsuite:

The full builds logs are available at
http://experimental.ftbfs.de/build.php?arch=&pkg=gawk
More builds (mainly mips, amd64, powerpc, hppa, ia64) should come
within the next days. Could you please tell me more about those
failures?

Thanks,
Arthur.

This may be a locale issue, but on i386 Linux there should not be ANY
failures as that is currently what I use.  Does this version of Debian
use GLIBC?

These are locale and and machine dependent; I don't think you need
to worry about them.

Same here.

Some of the tests are explicitly marked as machine dependent
because they are at the outer range of the precision of floating
point numbers, so it's OK if they don't give the same result.

Also, some libraries don't support the ' flag to %d to add
a thousands separator, and/or they don't handle multibyte
characters.

HTH,
