I don't know what dirent/tst-fdopendir and rt/tst-mqueue5 are, but I'd
expect libio/tst-atime to fail when the filesystem is mounted with the
noatime option, which is pretty commonly used for performance reasons.

I recall having a similar set of failures when I first built LFS. I
continued and I haven't encountered any problems. Remember that the
test suites are intended to be used by developers to check for
unintented side effects of code changes. I'm pretty sure it's safe to
continue.

Best of luck,
Kuba
