test-suite

I'm trying to run test-suite for x86 in order to verify a target independent patch before I put it back.
The patch has been approved.

What is the best way to run it in order to get maximum coverage and have results where I can tell that I have not regressed anything (as well as the test-suite can help with that)?

I've already tested it against the Mips compiler but we have a slightly modified harness.

It seems that some things about test-suite have changed from when I last ran the suite on x86 a month ago when I was first testing the patch.

I run the test suite by CD-ing into /projects/test-suite and running "make TEST=simple -j 4".

I was running on ubuntu but just typed "make" in test-suite.

When I type "make TEST=simple" it seems to work ok, with about 3 or 4 failures from other tests. I am resynching source right now to see if those problems go away.

Why isn't make in the test-suite defaulting to TEST=simple when TEST is not set?

Thanks,

I thought that was how it worked the last time I used it but not now.
