Those results look pretty broken :-(

You told make to ignore errors (with "-i"), so it didn't notice that
anything was wrong.

The on-screen output isn't all that helpful for diagnosing what went
wrong.  You might learn more by looking at the regression.diffs files.
Remember that errors tend to cascade, so the first one(s) in any
particular test suite are the most important --- the rest might just
be fallout.
