Interpretation of the make tests' output

[Junyong Zhao]

Dear Bash Maintainer,

Hello,

My name is Junyong Zhao, a graduate student at Penn and I am currently
working as an RA focusing on the bash. I was instructed by my supervisor to
download and compile the latest version of bash (which I believe is bash
5.0.17 based on the gnu-bash repository) as the first step. And I managed
to make and run bash on my local VM successfully.

However, I encountered a problem when running the 'make tests' to check my
build. And I find several warnings and diff output from the test result.
Although I tried to look it up, I really didn't find anything useful that
would give me total confidence in interpreting the output. So, I am
suggested to contact you directly and hope you could provide some pointers.

My VM configure is Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS with GCC 5.4.0. I also attached my
output and compile warnings on the VM in this email so that you could take
a look at it.

Sorry for the interruption, and I hope you are staying well and healthy at
this time. Looking forward to your reply.

Best regards,

Junyong Zhao
