Comment (by simonmar):

 I'm seeing failures in `T5435_v` and `T5435_dyn` here:

 {{{
 =====> T5435_v(normal) 2962 of 3788 [0, 0, 1]
 cd ./rts && $MAKE -s --no-print-directory T5435_v    </dev/null
 >T5435_v.run.stdout 2>T5435_v.run.stderr
 Actual stdout output differs from expected:
 --- ./rts/T5435_v.stdout        2013-09-14 19:51:59.426916358 +0100
 +++ ./rts/T5435_v.run.stdout    2013-09-14 20:54:07.282839857 +0100
 @@ -1,3 +1 @@
 -initializer1 run
 -initializer2 run
  success
 *** unexpected failure for T5435_v(normal)
 }}}

 Also you need to make these tests safe to run in parallel, I got this
 failure with THREADS=2:

 {{{
 Stderr:
 /usr/bin/ld: T5435.o: invalid string offset 4519 >= 1388 for section
 `.strtab'
 /usr/bin/ld: final link failed: Nonrepresentable section on output
 collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
 make[3]: *** [T5435_v] Error 1
 }}}
