+
+ Fix spurious failures in `silent*.test' for $CC != gcc
+ In some tests on automake-produced silent rules, we forced the
+ use of gcc depmode to improve testsuite coverage; but this has
+ unsurprisingly led to spurious failures when some non-GNU C
+ compilers were used. So we are now careful to require GCC in
+ tests that force gcc depmode.
+ From reports by Ralf Wildenhues.
+ * silent5.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
+ * silent-many-generic.test, silent-many-gcc.test: ... these new
+ sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
+ "gcc" in $required.
+ * silentlex.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
+ * silent-lex-generic.test, silent-lex-gcc.test: ... these new
+ sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
+ "gcc" in $required.
+ * silentyacc.test: Test removed, its content split into ...
+ * silent-yacc-generic.test, silent-yacc-gcc.test: ... these new
+ sister tests, the latter of which forces gcc depmode and lists
+ "gcc" in $required.
+ * tests/Makefile.am (TESTS): Updated.
