Yes, I was able to do the same on build1-ppc64.linuxbase.org

Don't worry about the libstdc++ symbols for now.  We're waiting for a
decision that affects this matter.

Just starting to explore the atexit issue.  We think, depending on
how the library is built, this may only appear in a static library
(libc_nonshared.a) for this glibc version.  The same is true for
pthread_atfork which may only be in the new libpthread_nonshared.a.
So don't worry about these either!  We've previously seen this on
x86_64 but not elsewhere (yet).

This test fails everywhere, and hangs somewhere.  I haven't heard
an analysis of why it might hang - perhaps it's a mismatch between
library and kernel (I have an ia64 box where the test suite does
not hang on sigwait in native mode, but does hang in the lsbsi chroot).
It seems to hang on all Debian versions (native or lsbsi) so that
argues against the library mismatch with kernel theory though.

You have 86 failures which looks very similar to what I saw on ia64.
If you have a lot of unresolveds around syslog, you can make those
go away by stopping the native system's syslogd, and starting the
one inside the lsbsi chroot, before you start the test.  Those will
nearly all go away then.
