I think most if not all of the changes you are seeing in the failures are due to the test suites now running in the UNIX98 mode instead of POSIX96. Incidentally, this may also be the reason you are seeing differences in test results between Red Hat releases as well (check the journal file to see what TEST_MODE was set to for the different runs). Some of those new test failures are due to PATH_MAX problems. Rusty has posted a patch to fix this on the kernel side (http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/rusty/), but a corresponding change is also needed with glibc.
