Of course they matter in general, but they don't matter in
particular, to me, right now.  So pick a Linux whose C/C++ libraries
are 99% GNU.  I would just like to see, without buying the suites,
how GCC/GLIBC performs.

They definitely do, since GCC uses their C library.  The less
compliant it is, the more ISO C (and even C++) compliance problems
you'll find with the testsuites, and it won't be GCC's fault, since
it's not meant to mask off deficiencies of an OS's C library.
