Is this test summary good or bad?

Not too bad (mips64 is around the same), but not the same as the linux head:

 OVERALL SUMMARY for test run started at Sun Jul  9 22:35:16 BST 2006
    1401 total tests, which gave rise to
    7573 test cases, of which
       0 caused framework failures
    1357 were skipped

    6056 expected passes
      50 expected failures
       0 unexpected passes
     110 unexpected failures

So the next step would be to diff the two results, and individually run the
tests that failed. Quite possibly many are failing for non-scary reasons (like
missing libs, or missing arch-specific output cases)
