I am running it in these order from a directory in the same directory as my git clone of the gcc source tree. Here is how I am making gcc: $PWD/../gcc/configure --prefix=$HOME/GCC-8.0 --enable-languages=c,c++,fortran,go make -j8 than I ran make -k check. Still fails after running this exact commands other than the --prefix configuration change from the wiki installation guide. This does fail even with a clean git tree and clean build directory. Nick
