Ok. I think your issue may be a special case of libstdc++/34106.

Yes. I think it's simply because the relevant search path is missing 
when the dg-require run. We should fix this indeed, affects a few basic 
headers/ tests.

... however, to be sure, let's not mistake the handful tests at issue, 
with proper testing of the parallel algorithms, which is done via make 
check-parallel, see:

 http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/libstdc++/manual/parallel_mode.html

for further details.
