The listed failures are:

misc/tst-sync_file_range
nptl/tst-stack4
malloc/tst-mallocstate

If necessary, I will fix malloc/tst-mallocstate once there's support for
a new architecture in build-many-glibcs.py. The failure is
architecture-independent, it's related to the lack of a compat symbol
and the difficulty of checking for that at the Makefile or test level.

nptl/tst-stack4 is also a generic failure, I think.

misc/tst-sync_file_range is probably a real failure related to argument
passing. I think this system call was problematic on other
architectures, too.

Thanks,
Florian
