We only ship a few of the test files. This is for size reasons. We basically just need enough to tell if something is terribly wrong.
And then there's the valgrind section of tests. I can't make those succeed on your machine. The libraries we use -- glib, gtk+ for example -- have problems that require the use of suppressions. Every different version needs its own set of suppressions, so they will likely fail for a lot of people.
