For 5.4, there are still are a bunch of systematic failures on gcov e.g. imap, pdo_firebird, pdo_odbc that need attention, along with less obvious issues. Volunteers welcome.
I've asked a couple of times now about fixing the PDO tests, most of the pdo_firebird failures are due to different SQL formats which are actually not handled by PDO at all, so how do we fix a pdo test designed for one database when it fails in another? The tests do seem to have driver specific elements, but that just make things more difficult to manage :(
The other question has to be which version of database the tests are being run against ... like MySQL some things have changed from older versions which is the reason for the interbase test failures. We DO need to think about a separate firebird version of the driver, which is then used by pdo_firebird, since interbase gives different results to firebird nowadays. fbird_x versions of the functions have been aliases since the early days of PHP5 but now need to be a separate extension. Since interbase is a licenced product not many of us even have a copy to run, so firebird is the more normal test base.
