Testsuite failure in binutils-2.12

[David Ronis]

I just built binutils-2.12 on i686-linux(2.4.18)-gnu(2.2.3 & 2.2.5)
boxes, using gcc-2.95.3.  I've currently got 2.11.2 installed.

CFLAGS was set to 

-O3 -march=i686 -malign-jumps=3 -malign-loops=3 -malign-functions=3
 -mpreferred-stack-boundary=3 -ffast-math -funroll-loops
 -fomit-frame-pointer

when configuring.  Both builds completed, but make check generated one
failure; namely:


Running /home/ronis/binutils-2.12/ld/testsuite/ld-selective/selective.exp ...
FAIL: selective4

Is this serious?  Can I install?
