I've not opened tickets for these failures because I've not specifically
looked into the individual causes (in other words, I'd like to
characterize each failure as an assertion failure (with the failing
assertion noted), linking errors, a segfault, etc.) If you could do
that, that would be great (these are not prerequisites to filing a bug
report, but I think it would be quite useful).
