Is 2.12.12 working better? Tests succeed for that version on x86 for me. Haven't tested 2.12.7 tests on x86 myself yet
2.12.11 fails, but 2.12.12 passes. I declare this fixed.
According to the upstream bug (for which I fixed the URL field) there might be an additional fix necessary for alpha, arm, ppc and sparc, or more. Feel free to test and open a new bug if that's the case, as the bug is different if it fails still. If you do open it, please copy the upstream URL too.
