On my builds, all tests pass and collectively give about 98%
source code coverage.  I never release unless all tests pass.

But I do not use ./configure to build tests.  I have my own
custom makefiles for that.  (Actually, I have my own custom
makefiles for everything - I never use configure.)  So what
you are seeing is probably problems in the ./configure script
and/or its Makefile.

If you want to do a full test where everything passes, I suggest
you do your own custom makefile.  Make a copy of Makefile.linux-gcc
found the top of the source tree.  Edit this copy to suit your
system.  This is much easier than it sounds - there is not that
much to change and there are a lot of comments and examples to 
guide you.  Then type:

   make fulltest

If you would prefer to try to fix the ./configure script, I will
accept patches.  Please note that I am disinclined to fix the
./configure script myself.  I have spent entirely too much of
my life already trying to get my head around autoconf/libtool
and I do not intend to waste any more time on that exercise if
I can avoid it.
