With this patch applied, I get 13 glibc testsuite failures using
TIMEOUTFACTOR=4 on a HiFive Unleashed running Fedora Core 29, using top of
tree binutils and gcc. 5 of those failures are due to a kernel bug. Without
the patch, there are over a hundred failures.
This patch is incidentally similar to the powerpc-nofpu ulps update that
Joseph Myers added a few days ago.
