Re: [GnuCOBOL 3.1-rc1] testsuite: 23 335 744 757 failed

Hi Pedro and welcome to GnuCOBOL.

Also thank you for sending in the test results.

`make check` lists four unexpected results:

  23: used_binaries.at:715 run job after compilation from stdin
      runmisc cobc cobcrun
 335: syn_misc.at:6911   very long literal in error message
      misc literals
 744: run_file.at:4857   SEQUENTIAL file with SHARING READ ONLY
      runfile
 757: run_file.at:5762   INDEXED file with LOCK AUTOMATIC (2)
      runfile

The first two seem to be solved in 3.1-dev already and the other two are
"old" issues in the cygwin environment, related to file locking.

Most cygwin environments are single-user, so those two may not have a
consequence for you. In general Cygwin is only suggested to be used if
you are a Cygwin user in any case, otherwise you may want to have a look
at the official MinGW packages [1].

In general I'd consider your build (other than a _potential_ locking
issue with concurrent access to the same file) good to use.

Simon
