Yikes. I have the exact same. There may be system differences affecting 
the tests then (libraries and/or compiler).

I have this compiler: gcc version 7.5.0 (Ubuntu 7.5.0-3ubuntu1~18.04).

Sure. But before i do that, i have these failure with the patch reverted:

Also a bunch of failures for gdb.base/gnu-ifunc.exp, but i think this is 
unrelated.

Which ones do you want me to open bugs against?
