The answer turns out to be that yes, it can build both these.  GNU libc passes 
"make check" and seems to be OK; the kernel locks up during boot after 
printing "POSIX conformance testing by UNIFIX".  But the Linux/ARM kernel has 
a long and inglorious history of breaking on every compiler upgrade, so this 
doesn't surprise me too much.  I'll investigate further.
