Another option to those I mentioned is to xfail or > kfailing the failing tests. Please. I've tried to understand the problem, and it seems to me that Joseph's position is entirely reasonable in this case. He has effectively introduced new tests that happen to fail in the arm-elf case, is that correct? If they fail on arm-elf, someone who cares about this platform should investigate them and determine whether to fix them, or whether they are a sim/gdb problem (kfail), or a problem from an external dependency (xfail). -- Joel
