regarding make-3.79.1 tests

[param ahlawat]

Hi!!
 
I am new to "gmake" so i needed this little
information.
I am using gmake -3.79.1 version on an NEC SX machine.
While running the test cases using "make check", the
behaviour is quite strange.
Sometimes all the cases pass successfully and
sometimes they do not  and i am getting 5 "Failed"
tests such as in
"features/echoing,features/errors,features/targetvars,functions/wildcard,targets/DEFAULT
etc"
I just wanted to enquire wether these cases are
related to system load in any case ???
ie whenever the system load is high , some of them
fail and at other time they are all passing
successfully.
Also in case of SX system there is no "uptime" command
and there is also an error for the "getloadavg"
test as that test doesn't run on SX and it gives
"Error getting load average".
Could you please give me an insight into the things.
 
Thanks and regards,
Param.
