OK.

The result is as attached.  Compare the summary of

# of expected passes            1389
# of unsupported tests          15

to the NetBSD/macppc result of

# of expected passes            1384
# of unexpected failures        5
# of unsupported tests          15

So the 5 unexpected failures did not fail on i386.
