I've had the same issue. The error doesn't seem to come from a failed
test, but from within 'prove' itself. Installing Perl 5.18 via
Homebrew, and setting
PROVE="<path-to-your-cellar>/perl518/5.18.2/prove" at configure time
seems to help avoid this particular problem. So I did not attempt any
further diagnosis of the root cause.
