Does the testsuite/systemtap.exelib/exelib.exp test work for you?

# Builds various variants of an executable and a shared library
# (with gcc/g++, -O0/-O3, prelinked/pie, seperate debuginfo)
# Then runs tests with a list of execs.

# Don't enable all sub-tests by default, enable them separately when
# you want to track down an issue.
# Enable just the all-in-one test for regular test runs to safe time
#set subtestlist {lib mark uname ustack cleanup}

make installcheck RUNTESTFLAGS=exelib.exp

Which for me on an x86_64 and a armv7hl give:

(arm has half the number of passes since x86_64 actually does twice as
many tests, for both normal 64bits binaries and for an -m32 binaries.)

If the above doesn't match what you see on your setup could you enable
the subtests as indicated in the .exp file and see which particular
subtests fail (maybe include the relevant parts of the
testsuite/systemtap.log file).

Thanks,

Mark
