Yes. I have learned to never ask for regression testing reports near a
daylight savings time boundary. I assume Japan set the clock back an
hour last Sunday? The explicit tests for 'yesterday', 'today',
'tomorrow' combined with date arithmetic fail since there is an hour
offset across that boundary. In a day or two the tests will succeed.

I'm not sure why FreeBSD has trouble with int8. It of course requires
support from the compiler, and configure tries to test for it. You don't
use gcc? If not, then perhaps you could check into 64-bit integer
support on your compiler. If you do use gcc, perhaps the test is having
trouble finding the complete set of libraries. I used to have a problem
on my Linux box with that; the 64-bit int subtraction routine didn't
make it into libc, but was hidden in some machine-specific library way
down the tree.

Perhaps you and Marc can look into the FreeBSD int8 problem?

This is all good. Thanks.
