Correct, I remember that now. In practice we have never marked them as
XFAIL, and strangely they never fail on the build daemon since the glibc
2.22 is in unstable.

Do you think that the test is not run correctly and uses part of the
glibc from the host system? It would be interesting to build glibc 2.23,
install it on the system and check if the tests still fail.

If you consider it's a kernel bug, we can mark them as XFAIL.
