I did soms testing as well today. With a focus on binutils only.

Building binutils_2.25.1-1_sparc64.deb from source in sparc64 chroot.
Next I did simple go into the builddir-single directory. And started
make check. What surprised me, it does goes true the Gold tests nice.
But the ld testsuite does 4 of unexpected failures. Its looks like the
same error as we have before. Having warnings, Couldn't find tool init
file as well. Attaching the make-check.log file [plain txt].

Running /binutils-2.25.1/ld/testsuite/ld-elf/elf.exp
FAIL: -Bsymbolic-functions
Running /binutils-2.25.1/ld/testsuite/ld-elf/shared.exp
FAIL: Run pr2404 with PIE
Running /binutils-2.25.1/ld/testsuite/ld-sparc/sparc.exp
FAIL: 32-bit: GOTDATA relocations
FAIL: 64-bit: GOTDATA relocations

I found out theres a, 130_gold_disable_testsuite_build.patch in debian
/ patches. So maybe Gold testing is still disabled? The question, how
do we find out what goes really wrong with binutils?

Thanks,
