Excellent.

Try binding your chroot if you want to expose your process list to the
chroot 'mount -o bind /proc /mnt/chroot/proc

Your kernel is too old, jejb fixed these.

The 'annexc.out' is an expected failure. The other two failures are new
and unknown, they aren't segfaulting which is good (Error 1), they just
aren't completing for some reason. Most likely they are taking too long
and timeout before the 2 second maximum. If they *are* timing out, set
TIMEOUTFACTOR=10 or 100 in your environment, this scales the test
timeout.

No, profiling works.

No, I fixed this in glibc such that gcc doesn't have to be recompiled.
If I hand't the userspace would have been *completely* broken, since
function pointer comparisons wouldn't have worked.

That should fix the mmap failures, please check to see if the other two
failures are timeout related.
