Can we make "0 failures in llvm-test" a release goal for llvm 2.8?
Its much easier to interpret the nightly tester output when you know
that nothing should fail ;)

llvm built srcdir != objdir, using the prebuilt llvm-gcc binaries.

make check was all good.

Attached are the test-suite reports for both llvm-gcc and clang.

Should I rerun the testsuite with dragonegg (IIRC it will be released
together with 2.7, right?)

I'd appreciate it if someone could look at these and confirm that all
the failures are not release blockers, I'll only have time to do this
tomorrow.

Yes, I'll do my usual tests tomorrow.
I think last time I tested these with clang:
 - ClamAV
 - blender
 - Perl
 - OCaml
 - Linux kernel
 - valgrind

I'll also add these (since I build these from source anyway)
 - a bootstrap of clang++
 - mesa r600, swrast, llvmpipe (I haven't tested llvmpipe yet, seems
like the perfect excuse to finally test it, and see if it works with 2.7)
 - xf86-video-ati

P.S.: ClamAV includes LLVM 2.7 + some patches from LLVM trunk, so I
did't ask you to add it to the "works with 2.7" section of the release
notes.
I'll try to do better for 2.8 and get all the needed stuff into it.

Best regards,
