This only seems to be before the actual tests and is meaningless.  The only 
thing that is really meaningful is the line at the end,  In my case:

---------------------------------------------------------------------
   2 tests of 155 FAILED
---------------------------------------------------------------------

I only has the following failures:

cal: Year 2147483646                   ...  FAILED (cal/bigyear)
cal: Year 2147483646 with week numbers ...  FAILED (cal/bigyearw)

The others passed for me:

hwclock: system to hw                   ...  IGNORE (not root permissions)
    ipcs: headers                        ...  OK
    ipcs: limits overflow                ...  IGNORE (not root permissions)
    ipcs: basic limits                   ...  OK
    ipcs: mk-rm-msg                      ...  OK
    ipcs: mk-rm-sem                      ...  OK
    ipcs: mk-rm-shm                      ...  OK

misc: fallocate                      ...  IGNORE ('ext3' not supported)

   Perhaps this is something special about ubuntu, because I think
   ext3 does not support fallocate by default.

misc: getopt2                        ...
        : long_option_ambiguous_1     ...  OK

misc: getopt2                        ...
        : quiet_output_option_long    ...  OK

misc: getopt2                        ...
        : quiet_output_option_short   ...  OK

misc: getopt2                        ...
        : weird_quoting_tcsh          ...  OK
   ...         misc: getopt2                        ...
        : weird_quoting_tcsh          ...  OK (all 23 sub-tests PASSED)

misc: swaplabel                      ...  OK
misc: ul                             ...  OK

Note: On x86_64, linux-3.18.3, and gcc-4.9.2, all tests either passed or were 
ignored for me.
