Bug#753099: glibc FTBFS on alpha: test suite failures

[Michael Cree <mcree@orcon.net.nz>]

Source: glibc
Version: 2.19-4
Severity: important
User: debian-alpha@lists.debian.org
Usertags: alpha
Justification: Fails to build from source but built in the past.

Finally the fixed gcc-4.8 arrived, however the rebuild of glibc on alpha
failed with unexpected test suite failures.  From the log:

Encountered regressions that don't match expected failures (debian/testsuite-checking/expected-results-alpha-linux-gnu-libc):
badsalttest.out, Error 1
test-double.out, Error 1
test-float.out, Error 1
test-snan.out, Error 1
tst-backtrace2.out, Error 1
tst-backtrace3.out, Error 1
tst-backtrace4.out, Error 1
tst-backtrace5.out, Error 1
tst-backtrace6.out, Error 1
tst-ptrguard1.o, Error 1
tst-stackguard1-static.o, Error 1
tst-stackguard1.o, Error 1

The last three are fixed by upstream commit a3df56fcae7
(alpha: Fix __pointer_chk_guard definition for the testsuite).

The others I am inclined to have added to the expected failure list in
debian/testsuite-checking/expected-results-alpha-linux-gnu-libc.  Note
that they only need to be added to the alpha libc library not to 
the alphaev67 variant libary as all of these tests pass correctly
under the latter library.

Cheers
Michael.
