Someone is really insistant on "you cannot have any extra whitespace" so
the hack will just not work. Let's drop it and simply move the
--enable-kernel= switches to the last line.

So if a test times out, it will be noted in jhalfs log.
Also remove "-l" so the output will be something like
./nptl/tst-thread-affinity-pthread: Timed out ...
instead of just a puzzling "./nptl/tst-thread-affinity-pthread".
As we've already concluded, overwriting a shared object can crash
running processes using code or data from this shared object. For
example if gdm is crashed, we may leave the system unusable :(.
Glibc tests occansionally fail due to a timeout because:
1. The hardware is slower than the developers expected.
2. Some tests use multiple or even all CPU cores internally, for e.g.
with 8 active CPU cores we may end up running 8 tests (due to -j8)
each of them uses 8 cores in the worst case, resulting a severe
congestion.
I'm almost sure nptl/tst-thread-affinity* are cases of 2.
Let's document how to rule out the timed out tests instead of making the
list of known failures longer and longer.
A Glibc update may contain locale updates, so keep
/usr/lib/locale/locale-archive synced.
Other distros are also doing this when Glibc is updated with the package
manager.
