Strange. I have been keeping the "expected failures" quite up to date 
both on the trunk and 0.8 branches. And the platform I test on is a 
pretty vanilla Ubuntu 12.04 on a pandaboard.

One notable difference is that I have ocl-icd 2.0.2 installed on the 
system - but the ICD-less build is tested on other platforms quite 
sufficiently, so that should not be the issue.

Also, Sumit Semwal sent in a few patches to fix some issues on 
ARM/Ubuntu 13.04. I'm not sure what the status of latest pocl is on that 
platform, but some time since the 0.7, all checks worked as expected, I 
believe. (Sumit, got an update on this?)

Now. Patches welcome. Especially since I have not seen the problems you 
posted later in this chain.

One pointer where to start looking is the target triple passed to the 
kernel compiler. This has caused lots of issues in the past. Turns out 
(at least) clang 3.2 didn't understand the default triple that Ubuntu 
had (something like armv7l-...), and reverted (silently!) to using the 
ARMv4 ISA. Which then caused issues with linking. Though this should not 
effect the clCreateBuffer (if indeed the failure comes from there).
