I'm pretty sure the failures are benign, and you don't need to worry
about them. This seems to happen sometimes for builds that are
configured using --with-gcc-toolchain.

For example, test/Driver/pic.c is expecting this in the output:
"Scrt1.o" "crti.o" "crtbeginS.o" but gets "Scrt1.o" "crti.o"
"/home/evansl/dwnlds/gcc/4.8.1/install/lib/gcc/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/4.8.1/32/crtbeginS.o"
(which is correct given your installation) instead, and fails.

Thanks,
Hans
