David, I'm afraid most of the failures are caused by the set of
compilation flags you are using for running "make bootstrap"; I'm
normally using something like

  BOOT_CFLAGS="-O9 -march=i686 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer"

i.e. omit all the -fforce-mem -fforce-addr -ffast-math -malign-*
flags. However, the g++ compiler wasn't in too good shape during the
fast few days. Maybe that caused your problems.

Which dejagnu version are you using? I have a recent checkout from
sources.redhat.com for that as well....
