That was a false alarm.  I've messed up the test results somehow.
The libstdc++ test case fixes have nothing to do with the patch, but rather
rev 184764 vs. rev 184829.  Sorry for any confusion.

It seems that when building newlib something gets messed up related to delayed
branches.  Building newlib with -fno-delayed-branch seems to make the failures
go away.
