Ok, I see. I thought the problem would still trigger due to the unusual
failure.

The test comes from Jose Marchesi who I know is gcc upstream, but I'm
not sure about glibc. Jose, could you please comment on this?

Hmm, then I'm a bit out of ideas. The idea came from Nick Alcock, so maybe
he can comment on this as well.
What's more strange is that glibc_2.22-7 actually happened to build fine,
with the tests enabled [1]. All later builds failed again.
