Ah- I was trying to filter the log and getting into trouble due to 
timestamps. However I'm seeing both reports of failures in 2.6.0 that 
aren't in 2.7.1 and vice versa:

$ wc -l fail*
   55 faillist-2.6.0
   44 faillist-2.7.1

$ diff -y faillist-2.6.0 faillist-2.7.1 |head
test/cg/taddbool                      | test/cg/tcalcst6
test/cg/tcalext5                        test/cg/tcalext5
test/cg/tcalext6                      | test/cg/tcalvar6
test/cg/tcppcl1                       | test/packages/bzip2/tbzip2streamtest

                                       > test/tcpstr2a

test/tdel2                              test/tdel2
..

and so on.

I'll have another session over the weekend with a fresh 2.6.1 against 
trunk, but when I was running the tests today they did some odd things 
to my desktop system (e.g. changing the TZ offset abruptly which might 
have messed up their own makefiles) that makes me happier running on 
something else- and the "something else" in this case is about to be 
rebuilt because of other issues.
