[ suddenly many new failures in eb*, indicating some deeply broken compiler ]

Yes, not true.

Perhaps :-) If you've been watching closely, or if you had compared
the two subsequent snapshots where the error first appeared, or if you
had used 'cvs log', you'd know that the g++.robertl/eb* test cases are
indeed new to the testsuite, introduced at the same time by going over
the reports of egcs-bugs and selecting 'good' bug reports.
> Does anyone know if these failures will be fixed soon?
I suggest that you look closely at the individual failures and decide
for yourself what kind of problem they constitute. Please use the
gcc.log and g++.log files produced to see the exact messages produced
when running the testsuite.
For example, bugs in the C++ front end most likely do not harm
compilation of the Linux kernel or glibc.
