Re: [Bug-GnuCOBOL] [GnuCOBOL 3.0-rc1] testsuite: 583 637 858 failed, 787 passed unexpectedly

[Simon Sobisch]

Thank you for the report and the notes so far.
Those failures should be fixed with current development version. Can you
please test the snapshot from

https://ci.appveyor.com/api/projects/GitMensch/trunk/artifacts/gnucobol-3.1-dev.tar.gz?job=Image:%20Ubuntu1804

[you may use lz or xz, too]

This would be especially useful as s390x builds are relative rare.

Notes:
* there are currently two known issues which will be fixed "soon":
  * needs GNU make (should be the default on SLES, so likely no issue)
  * tests 900-901 fail
* if you have a perl binary available or can get it, please also run
  make test and report back
* it _may_ be even better to specify the option in the compiler setting
  instead CLAGS: ./configure "CC=gcc -m64"

Again: thank you for the note and thank you for the follow-up to come.

Simon
