There are 5 regressions for the eglibc 2.11-0exp7 release. (1) tstdiomisc (2) tst-fork1 (3) tststatic (4) tststatic2 (5) tst-tls9-static Test (1) is a compiler bug involving the multiplication of -1 * NAN. The compiler defect causes the test to fail. The actual stdio implementation in glibc is working correctly. I have manually tested the stdio functions and they work correctly. This test can be XFAIL'd. Test (2) is a VIPT-WB cache issue in the kernel. The HPPA port has a patch set that is currently being worked on to fix this cache problem, until then I expect tst-fork1 and tst-fork2 to fail intermittently. There for tst-fork1 and tst-fork2 should be XFAIL'd until the kernel bug is fixed. There is nothing we can do until then. I am still analyzing (3), (4) and (5) which appears to be related.
