   package dev-vcs/rcs-5.8 suffers a failure of 2 test files, t510, t511.
   In testing, the test were all passed on one system and failed on
   another using the ebuild.  However, when run from the source, they
   persistently failed.

   For t510, Our prying lead us to file common-i in /tests and the
   function triple in the file.  By chance it was found that use of
   VERBOSE=1 or KEEPD=1 results in the test passing.  

   I believe this will help.

   archtester rcs-5.8 # cat tests/t510.d/out
   PROBLEM: t510.d/x,v writable (cmd: ci -i -t-something)

   archtester rcs-5.8 # cat tests/t511.d/out
   PROBLEM: t511.d/x,v writable (cmd: ci -i4.20 -mOK -t-something)

Unfortunately, this is not enough information to be helpful.
It's also somewhat worrisome that things are fine on one machine
and not on the other.  If the failures were reproducible on both
machines, then i would be more inclined to investigate further.
