@32985, here's what a default build gives me:

t/io/fs.....................................FAILED at test 5
lib/ExtUtils/t/cd...........................FAILED at test 1
lib/ExtUtils/t/eu_command...................FAILED at test 21
lib/Test/Harness/t/failure..................FAILED--expected test 3, saw test 2
lib/Test/Harness/t/strap-analyze............FAILED at test 37
lib/Test/Harness/t/test-harness.............FAILED at test 46
Failed 6 tests out of 1029, 99.42% okay.

If there are upgrades from CPAN in the pipeline for EU::MM and
Test::Harness, that will likely get us squared away with those.  I'll
see what I can figure out with io/fs.t.

It is indeed hard to do identify what is appropriate for 5.8.x and
what not.  I'll do some diffs and see what I can come up with that
should be integrated.  Here's an easy one:
