Okay. Are the expected failures documented somewhere? I somehow figure that the unexpected fails are at least the *Boxing tests. > Those that are not are the result of ABI mismatch (calling functions > with the wrong calling convention).

The x86_64 ABI documentation is available online [0]. But the conventions for passing arguments are a bit beyond me. (There is an algorithm to be followed in order to determine whether you need to pass a structure on the stack, but it's to late tonight for me to grok that.) At least I think I could successfully determine that you use 6 registers for passing integers and 8 for passing floats. Also setting SMALL_FLOAT_STRUCTS_ON_STACK and PASS_STRUCTS_AS_POINTER to 'true' (just guessing) seems to improve things, but still fails for some boxing tests (i.e. NS(Range|Rect)). Anyways: Thanks for the pointer. I think I know where I need to be heading...
