That explains the failures of those tests I saw for some MIPS ABIs and
noted on the wiki as having unknown cause. Could you update the
architecture-independent section of
<https://sourceware.org/glibc/wiki/Release/2.26> with a discussion of
these failures and the circumstances under which they occur (probably
linking to your message)? (Of course, we should fix them for the future,
and hopefully there will be a fix suitable to backport to the release
branch.)
