Hi! * Ran eembc, coremark, denbench and spec2k on the ursas with the latest of the Linaro and FSF series. The variants used were o3-neon and o3-neon-novect. I first got a c++ related build error when using 4.4.x compilers, the was error caused by symbol versioning. Michael's explanation: "We want to use the gcc-4.4.5 libstdc++ when building and running. However, when running c++ itself, it links in /usr/lib/libppl_c.so, which was built with the host 4.5 compiler, which needs the 4.5 libstdc++!" The work around is to remove the LD_LIBRARY_PATH from build.mk (the gcc-%/benchmarks.stamp target) and run the C only tests.
* Continued documentation of running benchmarks: https://wiki.linaro.org/AsaSandahl/Sandbox/RunningBenchmark. Tips of more efficient ways of doing things are always welcome.
* Collected the results for SPEC2K runs with "train" and "ref" data sets. I did -o2 and -o3 runs on a panda with the two data sets. The results for -o2 and -o3 looks almost the same though. I will double check the "*build.txt" files from the benchmark runs, and if needed do a complementary run.
