If you are building on a UFS partition, you will also probably see
t/op/stat.t subtest #9 fail. This is caused by Darwin's UFS not
supporting inode change time.
+Also the ext/POSIX/t/posix.t subtest #10 fails but it is skipped for
+now because the failure is Apple's fault, not Perl's (blocked signals
+are lost).
+
+If you Configure with ithreads, ext/threads/t/libc.t will fail, again
+not Perl's fault-- the libc of Mac OS X is not threadsafe (in this
+particular test the localtime() call is found to be threadunsafe.)
