Thanks for the report.  I downloaded the tarball and built a default  
configuration and got:

All tests successful.
u=67.65  s=0.00  cu=0.00  cs=0.00  scripts=1631  tests=327531

Note that I ran 1631 test scripts and you only ran 1611, so there must  
be some feature (possibly symlinks?) that I have but you don't.

All of these groups probably fail as a group, and probably because  
they aren't finding something they want.  Sometimes a PATH definition  
can be the problem.  Hard to say without details.

This is testing the debugger.  It might get confused by a logical name  
like TT, or TTY or TERM or something.

This tends to have trouble for people on the plus side of UTC time.

No idea.

If you have time to look into the vmsish.t failure, that might be  
something we should sort out.
