Paul spoke to me off-list about this, so although I don't think it
is necessary to not run tests which will fail, I suggested he post
this here.
However, looking back at my logs - my first build of 8.0-rc1 was on
my i7 and there I *did* get 4 failures like the book says. In *all*
my subsequent builds (8.0 and svn) on all my machines I only got the
three failures Paul has suppressed above. But as I said to him -
different people get different failures.
The fourth was t/subobj.sh, a quick look suggests it usually
passes.
