For the record, I am on an 8 core MBP (well 4 core, times 2 for hyper 
threading), running 10.7. But I guess I am simply always lucky :). Anyway, so 
that one can be dealt with using the patch included in that bug report.

But the vast number of differences in test results are due to differences in 
what packages we have installed. For example, I don't have tex installed via 
Fink (rather, I use MacTeX 2012). Hence for me, the txinfo tests get skipped, 
and thus I don't see those failures.

In addition, I have GNU make, grep, sed, gawk, bash, coreutils-default 
installed, all of which get picked up by the testsuite; on the other hand, you 
seem to have flex or flex-devel and bison or byacc installed (and also texlive 
of tetex), which I don't have. This all leads to differences.

Now I am pondering whether to add any of these to the dependencies of the 
InfoTest... hrm. Anyway, now that I know why those tests don't "fail" for me 
(they get skipped), I can look into resolving all this.


In closing, it could be helpful if you could also upload the fink build log 
somewhere, as the test log generated by automake is incomplete (it does not 
reliably cover all tests).


Cheers,
Max
