tarball:

I wanted to run make check to see if the build was successful and i was happy 
to see that there are a lot of tests.
I am not sure if i can expect to get an exit code 0 after that or if i just 
have to check the results if the failed tests really matter to me.
But i was curious since it was only the one test which i would have expected to 
be skipped in the first place.

Please let me know if you need any further information.
I am happy if i can help.

Was this run on a git checkout or distribution tarball?

You bring up a good question. If it's a git checkout I think it makes sense
to run these since it may detect potential portability issues for Darwin
hosts that are observable from Linux systems. It may also make sense to run
some of these tests even in a distributed tarball if they are trying to
detect cross-compilation issues from a Linux build system for Darwin
hosts/targets.

To say for sure I'd need to look at the specific tests.

Overall it's a good question though and I'd like to understand more about
why they're running because it's certainly possible that they should be
skipped or that the test suite isn't detecting the build/host system
properly.

Why are darwin/MacOS tests being run on Linux at all?

detection of operating system seems ok:
testsuite.log looks good:

-
## - ##
## Platform. ##
## - ##

hostname = bonnie
uname -m = x86_64
uname -r = 4.15.0-153-generic
uname -s = Linux
uname -v = #160-Ubuntu SMP Thu Jul 29 06:54:29 UTC 2021

/usr/bin/uname -p = x86_64
/bin/uname -X = unknown
-

Sorry, if I missed any additional information that should be provided. This is
my first bug report here on savannah.gnu.org
