GNU testsuite comparison:

Skip an intermittent issue tests/date/date-locale-hour (fails in this run but passes in the 'main' branch)
Skipping an intermittent issue tests/pr/bounded-memory (passes in this run but fails in the 'main' branch)
Note: The gnu test tests/cp/link-heap is now being skipped but was previously passing.
Congrats! The gnu test tests/printf/printf-surprise is now passing!
