Thanks for the report.
This may mean darwin 10.3 needs to be added to the list of known
(i.e., non-failure-provoking) losing systems:

FYI, here's an excerpt from the failing script, tests/chgrp/basic:
---------------------------------------
# The following no-change chgrp command is supposed to update f's ctime,
# but on OpenBSD, it appears to be a no-op for some file system types
# (at least NFS) so g's ctime is more recent.  This is not a big deal;
# this test works fine when the files are on a local file system (/tmp).
chgrp '' f
test "`ls -C -c -t f g`" = 'f  g' || \
  {
    case $host_triplet in
      *openbsd*) echo ignoring known OpenBSD-specific chgrp failure 1>&2  ;;
      *)         echo no-change chgrp failed to update ctime 1>&2; fail=1 ;;
    esac
  }
---------------------------------------

To confirm that this is the only failure, please run the following
and send us their output:

build-aux/config.guess
VERBOSE=yes make -C tests/chgrp check TESTS=basic
