Using the latest gcc from git/svn, I see a new failure in "make check":
test-stdalign.c:74:445: error: '_Alignas' specifiers cannot reduce alignment\
of 'static_longdouble_alignas'
test-stdalign.c:74:496: error: '_Alignas' specifiers cannot reduce alignment\
of 'static_longdouble_Alignas'
CC test-sys_wait.o
make[8]: *** [test-stdalign.o] Error 1
So I can continue to use this version of gcc at least for now,
I've just commented out the offending tests:

Subject: [PATCH] test-stdalign.c: comment out long double tests
* tests/test-stdalign.c: Don't try to reduce alignment of long double
variables. That provokes errors like this from gcc-4.7.0 20111124:
error: '_Alignas' specifiers cannot reduce alignment of \
'static_longdouble_alignas'.
