"One or two"?  I have 297 failures.  Many of them due to exit status
incompatibility, like this:

  features/include ........................................ Error running 
D:/gnu/make-4.2.90-guile/GccRel/gnumake.exe (expected 0; got 512): 
'D:/gnu/make-4.2.90-guile/GccRel/gnumake.exe' '-f' 'work/features/include.mk.9'

Do you have some special setup for running these tests, like some
special version of Perl or other shims?  (Does one need a Unixy shell
around, for example?)  Otherwise I don't understand how do you get
only a couple of failures.  I don't think the binary I built is broken
to such a degree.
