Hi Adrian,

Trying to build/run glibc testsuite against sh4 own toolchain I am facing
an build issue for some tests:

---

I did not dig into this, but some google shows it has been an issue before [1].
The issue is using build-many-glibcs.py cross toolchain I did not see any
issues building glibc testsuite.

The major gcc configuration differences I see is system one adds a 
'--with-cpu=sh4 --with-multilib-list=m4,m4-nofpu'. Any idea of what might
be happening.
