I am planning to run the testsuites again during weekend.
I also find it weird that every update shows different "before" results than previous one showin in "after" result.
Not sure if it's flakiness or local conditions like CPU overload at time of running tests.

The tests are run via "bitbake glibc-testsuite -c check"

The comparison table is created manually from task logfile.
Basic testcase changes can be extracted from the same file.
New/Removed tests need to be extracted from result files, bit of manual work.
