Thanks, Jeff. qemu did the trick. Specifically, I did the following:
1. sudo apt-get install qemu-user-static
2. export
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${BuildRoot}/install/glibcs/aarch64-linux-gnu/lib64:${BuildRoot}/install/compilers/aarch64-linux-gnu/aarch64-glibc-linux-gnu/lib64
3. sudo ln -s
${BuildRoot}/install/glibcs/aarch64-linux-gnu/lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1
/lib/ld-linux-aarch64.so.1
4. Run the gcc tests as previously described
5. Remove the symlink
6. Restore the previous value of LD_LIBRARY_PATH
There are still a few test failures that we will need to investigate, but this
was a huge leap forward.
