My advice is to run "make TEST=nightly report". This will generate a txt 
file that is a simple table of the results... and show you what is failing 
(llc, jit, cbe, etc).

148 failures seems high to me. On my darwin x86 machine, I only am seeing 
75 failures (running make TEST=nightly report), but my last complete 
report was from a couple weeks ago.
