Failing the "test for excess errors" means that the test generated an unexpected error. In this case the problem appears to be that the test case does not expect the message at line 5. When I look at the test case in current gcc sources, I see that the message on line 5 is expected. So I would guess that you are using a newer gcc with an older testsuite, or some such mismatch. Ian
