I can see how I would have missed those: They apparently depend upon a proper Arm (cross) compiler being made available / known to the "make check" invocation. While in principle I have such a compiler, it doesn't lend itself to passing via CC_FOR_TARGET, at least not with how the machinery currently works. Plus I question the usefulness of such tests, when in the common case people won't have cross compilers for _all_ the possible targets available.
Bottom line: This would better be investigated by someone having a ready-to- use environment to hand. Alternatively I could likely deal with some or even all of the observed regressions if not only the .sum files where provided among the artifacts, but also the .log ones.
