Get 6 FAIL on testsuites - have figured cause for 3 of them.

First is cat date-works | head -n 5
dt=`busybox date`
# Expected format: Fri Apr 25 03:47:55 CEST 2008
dt=`echo "$dt" | sed 's/^[^ ][^ ][^ ] [^ ][^ ][^ ] [ 0123][0-9] 
[012][0-9]:[0-5][0-9]:[0-6][0-9] [A-Z][A-Z]* [012][0-9][0-9][0-9]$/OK/'`
test x"$dt" = x"OK"

Issue is the test is looking for the first to letters of Timezone to be 
in Caps? But in Guam the timezone has second letter as lower case.

# date
Sun May  3 11:10:51 PM ChST 2026
# busybox date
Sun May  3 23:11:14 ChST 2026

Changing the [A-Z][A-Z] to one of these has it work.
[A-Z][A-Za-z]
[A-Z][A-Zh]
[A-Z][[:alpha:]]

As far as I can tell ChST is only timezone with a lower case letter??

So cosmetic and only seems to effect someone using ChST?

Other two are ls-s-works  and ls-l-works

Both note the missing total line at top, but there also seems 
difference with an SELINUX . "x." or "-.", and spacing.
On Fedora 43 machine get. 

# LC_ALL=C ls -l ".." | head -n 5
total 1048

-rwxr-xr-x    1 root     root           747 May  3 03:33 ar.tests

Not sure they should be FAIL?  

Other 3 involve sed and NULL but have not looked at them closely.
So minor issues.
