[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

I built Emacs 27.2 on Solaris 10 sparc with Oracle Studio 12.6 and ran 
into several test failures.

Configuration was via the following, since libjpeg etc. are not available:

./configure MAKE=/usr/sfw/bin/gmake --with-jpeg=ifavailable 
--with-png=ifavailable --with-gif=ifavailable --with-tiff=ifavailable 
--with-gnutls=ifavailable

"make check" did not terminate. Its output is attached as 
"make-check-log.txt". As can be seen, the following tests failed:

lisp/cedet/semantic-utest-ia
lisp/comint-tests
lisp/net/nsm-tests
lisp/progmodes/xref-tests
lisp/so-long-tests/so-long-tests
lisp/vc/diff-mode-tests
src/emacs-module-tests (segmentation violation)
src/process-tests (appears to be looping; 3 CPU hours so far)

I'm attaching logfiles.tgz, a tarball of the failing tests' log files.

Thanks.  Are these issues new with Emacs 27.2, or were they present in
previous releases as well?

They're present in 27.1.

Thanks.  Failures in xref-tests and diff-mode-tests are due tp
command-line options not recognized by the tools you have there, so I
guess installing GNU tools would help.

Of the rest, the only one that worries me is process-tests; any chance
you could look closer at that?

Don't have much time free now, unfortunately. Maybe later. Or perhaps 
someone else could look into it.

OK, TIA for anything you could find out and report.

This was a year ago -- Paul, do you still see this in recent Emacs
versions?  (I vaguely recall there being some Solaris-related fixes
lately.)

I still see problems with Emacs master, yes. Build log attached. I had 
to control-C out of the lisp/eshell/esh-var-tests.log test since it 
seemed to be hung (Emacs had a subsidiary zombie process but didn't seem 
to be making any attempt to deal with it). The attached build log is 
relative to current Emacs master (commit 
4410f5d86997b6b238ff05c2ece338b28e1163b1).

I installed some patches in master to fix some of the issues I found, 
and the build log assumes those patches. If we want people to run and 
test Emacs 28 on Solaris we should fix at least the non-portable 
distribution tarball <https://bugs.gnu.org/56222> and the "find ... 
-path" portability bug 
<https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs.git/commit/?id=b0ed2d1f46d27885a19ae6941b6ea5276f0050e0>.
