I have quite different results (was with 5.6.15 kernel and headers, and
iproute2-5.6):
      1 FAIL
   5177 PASS
     22 UNSUPPORTED
     17 XFAIL
      2 XPASS

with
FAIL: misc/tst-ttyname

I cannot tell why it has run more tests for me than for you (I mean the
22 less UNSUPPORTED cannot explain the 75 more PASS)

Note that in a VM with an old debian 8 system (kernel 3.16), I have 24
UNSUPPORTED and 5175 PASS, otherwise identical.

Don't remember, so I trust you. This test passed on the 3.16 debian
kernel, though. But some fixes may have been backported.

Isn't it the one that fails when ulimit is not increased?

Never seen those ones

Most often, I have only the 6 22_locale/get_time failures on the
Haswell or 64 bit VM's.

On the i686 VM, I had 13 errors for libstdc++, but not the same as the
ones you report.

Could be changed I guess

Not run those since the book tells not to run them

Not run either

For me they now all pass (on all my machines). Note that I do not use
any special CFLAGS. Those are all jhalfs builds. The cpu is exactly the
same as yours.
