Ahh.  I see.

      /* Fire up thread modify_ldt call.  */
      atomic_store (&ftx, 2);

      while (atomic_load (&ftx) != 0)
	;

      /* On success, modify_ldt will segfault us synchronously and we 
will escape via siglongjmp.  */
      support_record_failure ();

But:

  xsethandler (SIGSEGV, sigsegv_handler, 0);
  /* 32-bit kernels send SIGILL instead of SIGSEGV on IRET faults.  */
  xsethandler (SIGILL, sigsegv_handler, 0);

So some kernels apparently use SIGBUS instead, and the crash actually 
shows the test succeeded.

Would you please try the attached patch?

Thanks,
Florian

Subject: [PATCH] Linux i386: tst-bz21269 triggers SIGBUS on some kernels
To: libc-alpha@sourceware.org

In addition to SIGSEGV and SIGILL, SIGBUS is also a possible signal
generated by the kernel.

	* sysdeps/unix/sysv/linux/i386/tst-bz21269.c (do_test): Also
	capture SIGBUS.
