... broke NPTL. Tests which worked with previous kernels fail now. One
test eventually succeeded, but the process somehow got stuck for about
30-40 seconds. Then it finished. Running strace showed a call to
clone() as the last operation but there were other threads running at
that time.

I tried to login (via ssh) into the system when the process hang and
this, too, was delayed and succeeded immediately when the strace'd
process continued.

I haven't looked at the changes made and wouldn't expect to understand
all the details either. And I can understand if you don't want to run
the glibc test suite. What I can offer are statically linked versions
of the tests. One is here:

Let me know if you need more help.
