I noticed that a couple of libstdc++ tests that used to fail because
of the long double mismatch are fixed with 2.3.1-14 :)

Are you testing with 3.3?  Some elf tests in the binutils suite
were failing because of the need to canonicalize function pointers.
There were also some tests that failed because we absolutely need
'-fPIC' for tests with shared libraries.  I'd be interested to know
what's causing these.
