The libstdc++ failures all seem to be related to EPERM errors where an
expected error doesn't occur. Are you using an unusual filesystem?
Maybe a Windows share or something?

They don't indicate a problem with the C++ library, just that the
tests expect any filesystem on linux to support POSIX file
permissions, so that a directory can be unreadable and give errors
when accessed. So the tests aren't as portable as they could be.

I don't know about the other failures you're seeing.
