New Failures in libjava Testsuite - Weird libtool Behaviour

Mon May 31 10:40:00 GMT 2004

Hi,
 Today's build has these new libjava testsuite failures:
 FAIL: TestEarlyGC compilation from source
 FAIL: TestLeak compilation from source
 FAIL: TestMultiple compilation from source
 FAIL: TestParent compilation from source
All of them fail because "dummy.o" is being created by
libtool in the ".libs" sub-folder of the testsuite
folder instead of the folder above it, *even when
explicitly being asked to create it above it via a
-o option* from the test script.
Why is the generated libtool suddenly behaving like
this? What could have caused this behaviour? ("lt*.*"
in the toplevel folder haven't changed in around
4 weeks now.)
Thanks,
Ranjit.
