When running these tests, it gets a little complex.
I'm pretty sure the test needs to be run against the
libc.so.6 that you are building, and not the one in /lib
on your system.

You could set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the location of the
objects you are building and then run it...

However, if you do that, then gdb might act strangely
with this newly built libc (since ld trying to load gdb
will use the libc in the library path).

How do you load gdb with one libc and debug a program
that uses another?

When I run the test-fenv, I get a whole list of output
criteria, but it finally exist with $?=132
I'm running with LD_LIBRARY_PATH set to the new libc,
glibc 2.2.4-2, built with newer binutils.
