As of 33210 (I can't do builds as fast as you can integrate), with HP
C V7.3-009 on OpenVMS Alpha V8.3 I get:

t/io/fs.....................................FAILED at test 5
t/lib/vms_stdio.............................FAILED at test 2
lib/ExtUtils/t/cd...........................FAILED at test 1
lib/ExtUtils/t/eu_command...................FAILED at test 21
lib/ExtUtils/t/xs...........................FAILED--non-zero wait status: 1024
lib/Test/Harness/t/failure..................FAILED--expected test 3, saw test 2
Failed 6 tests out of 1036, 99.42% okay.

vms_stdio.t needs 32791 integrated (which I just mailed you off-list about).

lib/ExtUtils/t/xs fails like so:

$ perl [-.lib.extutils.t]xs.t
1..0 # Skip ExtUtils::CBuilder not installed or couldn't find a compiler
%SYSTEM-F-ABORT, abort

If we aren't going to have CBuilder in 5.8.x, maybe xs.t should not
even be in the distribution, though it's curious that C<plan
skip_all> causes a failure exit condition.

eu_command.t passes when run outside of the test suite.  The others
need more investigation, but I think I'll synch up with latest first.

Good question.  I'll look them up and see what they are.
