For the records, this means that the test suite considers your
C++ compiler to be broken, and it exited with code 77.
Of course, it should have displayed an error message (which
might be in the testsuite.log file).

man sysexits

     EX_NOPERM (77)     You did not have sufficient permission to perform
                        the operation.  This is not intended for file sys-
                        tem problems, which should use EX_NOINPUT or
                        EX_CANTCREAT, but rather for higher level permis-
                        sions.

I’ll see if I can reproduce and improve the error message.
