A unit bisection prints only builds or fails for each commit, and it deletes its scratch tree, so a commit where the object fails for some other reason looks the same as one that fails for the reason being bisected. That happened to the bisection of
binutils-too-old-multiline-macro, from 2.6.22 to 2.6.23 with GCC 3.2.3 and binutils 2.14 on x86_64. It reported thatarch/x86_64/kernel/head.ofails at 2.6.23 as well, even though 6e3515352bdd puts the PMDS() call back on one line in v2.6.23-rc4. Nothing was left to show why.unit_rungnow also returns the first line ofunit.log, or ofprepare.logwhen prepare is what failed, that names an error. If no line does, it returns the last line where kbuild says why it stopped. The line is taken before the scratch tree goes, and it is printed under the step, the same way the first error of a whole-cell step already is.New test:
a_failed_unit_says_what_failed. fmt and clippy are clean on server3 and all 131 tests pass.
