Thanks so much for testing. Would you be able to report the kernel,
gcc, binutils and glibc versions installed on the system?

Results indeed look good. The two that worry me slightly are:

memcheck/tests/linux/ioctl_procmap_query
memcheck/tests/replaces_malloc_client_req

They only fail on BE or older systems, but if you could post the
.stdout/.stderr[.diff] files we could see what is going on there.

Great.
