Could you try the attached patch?  I see we were not updating the DT_RELA tag in
the dynamic section.  This might fix some of the tests, but probably not the
set-interpreter-long.sh test.  I have no idea what goes wrong there - the
readelf output on the resulting binary looks fine.  Strangely, there is no error
message:

  running with missing interpreter...
  running with new interpreter...
  FAIL: set-interpreter-long.sh

The other tests at least die, e.g.

  ./set-rpath.sh: line 21:  5453 Killed                  ./main
