OK, thanks, I shall also notice about glibc when I try to analyze it,
e.g. need try to build and install upstream glibc instead of the Darwin
glibc (I am not quite sure whether I can do that, I guess I can).

Sorry it is breaked, at present, I temporarily skipped it and then can
let "make check" finish, the related temporarily skip diff may like
below (in real action, I modify the related Makefile, directly):

diff --git a/libjava/testsuite/Makefile.in b/libjava/testsuite/Makefile.in
