; Summary: Some tests fail to compile on aarch64 (ren1 board)
; Owner: Tim
; Reporter: Tim
; Status: closed
; Priority: high

= Description =
The following tests have problem in the build phase with the Renesas R-Car board
in Tim's lab:
 * Benchmark.ffsb
 * Benchmark.netperf
 * Functional.glib
 * Functional.expat


Here's what the error looks like:

}}}


= Notes =
This was a problem the automake system for some tests using ancient versions of config.sub and config.guess.

The fix was to replace the config.sub and config.guess files for these tests with ones from the Debian release in the Docker container.
