I'm running Linux x86 2.1.57, libc 5.4.39.  This patch:

does not apply for me because I do not have libio/config/linux.ml.

Anyway, I went ahead and reconfigured and rebuilt egcs without this one
reject and 'make check' gives me this:

*Much* better, but still not quite there.  I will grab new .tar.gz's of
everything tomorrow at work and bring those home and reapply your patch. 
Maybe the file got lost during patch upgrades.

One update..  the 3 failures here are because the testsuite couldn't find
libio.a.  I hacked around this, and now this is the only failure:

FAIL: tfformat.c execution 

I can provide more information.  Just let me know what to do.
