ERROR should really be reserved for errors in the testsuite framework,
not just normal errors from the tools under test. Removing use of
perror has been suggested before but without action, over concerns
that some test failures might be missed. This patch removes uses of
perror in ld_assemble, ld_compile and ld_nm, and updates numerous
places that ignored the result of these functions by inappropriately
returning an "unresolved" test status. Net result over my large set
of targets look good, in some cases improving the diagnostics, eg:
i386-msdos -ERROR: tmpdir/script: nm failed
i386-msdos -ERROR: tmpdir/script: nm failed
i386-msdos -ERROR: tmpdir/script: nm failed
i386-msdos -ERROR: tmpdir/script: nm failed
i386-msdos +FAIL: script
i386-msdos +FAIL: MRI script
i386-msdos +FAIL: MEMORY
i386-msdos +FAIL: MEMORY with symbols
* testsuite/lib/ld-lib.exp (default_ld_compile): Don't perror on
a compiler error.
(default_ld_assemble): Similarly for an assembler error.
(default_ld_nm): Similarly for an nm error.
(run_ld_link_tests): Report ld_assemble errors as a fail.
(check_as_cfi): Remove now unnecessary perror substitution.
* testsuite/ld-elf/exclude.exp: Report ld_nm error return as test
fails rather then unresolved.
* testsuite/ld-gc/gc.exp: Likewise.
* testsuite/ld-scripts/alignof.exp: Likewise.
* testsuite/ld-scripts/defined.exp: Likewise.
* testsuite/ld-scripts/script.exp: Likewise.
* testsuite/ld-scripts/sizeof.exp: Likewise.
* testsuite/ld-selective/selective.exp: Likewise.
* testsuite/ld-scripts/extern.exp: Likewise. Return on ld_link
failure.
* testsuite/ld-elfweak/elfweak.exp: Report compiler errors as
test unresolved.
* testsuite/ld-fastcall/fastcall.exp: Report assember errors as
test fails.
* testsuite/ld-i386/i386.exp (iamcu_tests): Likewise.
* testsuite/ld-ia64/line.exp: Likewise.
