Aha! It turns out that quite a few tests fail when a single LF is not a valid newline, and the script for running lots and lots of tests knows this, and does not run them. Doh! There is this comment: # Some of the tests are automatically skipped when PCRE2 is built with non-Unix # newline recognition because they don't work. I am hoping to reduce this as # much as possible in due course. I have clearly forgotten about this and done nothing about it. I will work on it.
