It's on my 5 years old i7-4790S (8 threads, 65W). Without the SMP tests,
I get run times of about 2 - minutes. I use the leon3-sis target in
rtems-test. If I use leon3-run, rtems-test hangs after a few tests
unless I use --jobs=1.

I looked into the failures again and they only occur on leon3 when
compiled with --enable-smp. On erc32 and leon2, and on leon3 without
--enable-smp they run OK. I am working on improving gdb debugging
support for sis-mp, so debugging the failures of the RTEMS tests could
be a good test case to check how well it works. Breakpoints and stepping
in an MP system are not that obvious to handle ...
