I'm a bit confused by this one:

strtoumax("0xX", &endptr) should return 0, errno=0(Invalid error number)
        instead, it returns 0, errno=EINVAL

Why do you expect it to return with errno=0? Since the subject
sequence does not have a correct form, I believe the implementation
may (and should, from a quality of implementation standpoint) set
errno to EINVAL. Of course a portable application will need to examine
endptr instead of errno to check this case.

The remaining errors all seem correct. It's expected that glibc fails
lots of these tests. See:
