Glad you got it going. I notice there are a few test failures, many of which could be fixed easily, e.g.

that just needs a platform-specific expected output file (hClose002.stdout-i386-unknown-solaris2).
BTW: is there an easy way to do some general output filtering on *all* tests for different platforms? It may not be helpful for the above test, but for some differences (like stderr in case of several types of core dumps on different operating systems, or the typical linker warnings about strcat(3), strcpy(3) etc. on OpenBSD) it may be less maintainance work to filter or modify the output on specific platforms.
This is slightly ad-hoc at the moment and could do with generalising a bit. Look at the various functions beginning with normalise_ in testsuite/driver/testlib.py. There's also a way to specify a per-test output normalisation function: normalise_fun(). Cheers, Simon
