with today's trunk, I see regressions on i686-linux-gnu and mips64el-linux-gnu:

i386:
W: [ld-elf/elf.exp] REGRESSION (UNSUPPORTED -> FAIL): static init array mixed

trunk 20220622 didn't show that.

mips64el:
I: [binutils-all/objcopy.exp] progression (UNTESTED -> PASS): simple objcopy of 
executable
I: [binutils-all/objcopy.exp] progression (UNTESTED -> PASS): run objcopy of 
executable
I: [binutils-all/objcopy.exp] progression (UNTESTED -> PASS): run stripped 
executable
I: [binutils-all/objcopy.exp] progression (UNTESTED -> PASS): run stripped 
executable with saving a symbol
I: [binutils-all/objcopy.exp] progression (UNTESTED -> PASS): keep only debug data
I: [binutils-all/objcopy.exp] progression (UNTESTED -> PASS): simple objcopy of 
debug data
I: [binutils-all/objcopy.exp] progression (UNTESTED -> PASS): NOBITS sections 
retain sh_link field
W: [ld-elf/elf.exp] REGRESSION (PASS -> FAIL): PR ld/29072 (warn about an 
executable .note.GNU-stack)

trunk 20220622 also didn't show that.
