This lets a few more packages pass tests: container/heap and encoding/ascii85.
After putting a lot of work in getting the standard library test package to work, I'm not sure whether that's the way forward. It consumes a lot RAM, which is often limited on microcontrollers (for example, it appears to run each test in a separate goroutine). And ideally we'd run tests directly on microcontrollers too. That's why I now plan to improve the testing package so that it is more compatible with the upstream testing package and get more packages to pass tests that way.
