Test suite failures on several less-common architectures - Redmine #1987
Archive from user: Nicholas Breen
Continuing the Debian architecture tests, “make check” fails on at least seven architectures: arm64, armhf†, mipsel, alpha, hppa, mips64el, and sparc64, with one or both of the following failures:

GROMACS might still work, but it will likely hurt your performance.
Please mail gmx-developers@gromacs.org so we can try to fix it.

[ FAILED ] HardwareTopologyTest.HwlocExecuteShould these be informative messages rather than full failures? I can acquire more information about the build environment on each architecture, but maybe it’s best to simply disable this test on them. There are probably not a lot of people running GROMACS on an Alpha workstation.
† armhf also encounters illegal instructions in the mdrun tests. The other architectures pass all remaining tests.

- Changesets:
- Revision 0a7428cf by Erik Lindahl on 2016-07-07T23:47:59Z:
Reduce hwloc & cpuid test requirements
On some non-x86 linux platforms hwloc does not report
caches, which means it will fail our strict test
requirements of full topology support. There is no
problem whatsoever with this, so we reduce the
test to only require basic support from hwloc - this
is still better than anything we can get ourselves.
Similarly for CPUID, it is not an error for an
architecture to not provide any of the specific flags
we have defined, so avoid marking it as such.
Fixes #1987.
