Re: MySQL 8.0.16 on Fedora/PPC64LE : I see issues, inc. hangs

[Tony Reix]

I see: 1/3521 tests on kojipkgs.

MySQL can be built in 4 modes, mainly "release" or "debug".
Tests are different in "debug" mode vs "release" mode.
In "debug" mode, there are more tests that are run. At least 582.

I built MySQL with: cmake ... -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=DEBUG ... and thus 4031 tests were run, nearly 500 more tests than in release tests. Those tests that are run only in "debug" mode require information that are added only when MySQL is built in "debug" mode.
They appear as: "Test needs debug binaries".

2 of 3 tests that hang in my environment are run in:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//packages/community-mysql/8.0.16/2.fc31/data/logs/ppc64le/build.log
but not the one which shown at least 2 times the hang:
1%] innodb.blob-crash-4k [ skipped ] Test needs debug binaries.

And probably that nearly all the 89 tests I see failing on my PPC64LE machine do require the "debug" mode. Same on x86_64 where I see 43 failed tests.
