An update on these:

 libinterp/corefcn/pr-output.cc-tst
 libinterp/parse-tree/oct-parse.yy-tst
   - Setting "format long" before running the test suite breaks these: 
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?55539

 general/logspace.m
   - Probable c++ library bug: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?55538

 miscellaneous/tar.m
   - This is lack of BSD tar support. 
https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?53695. Patch submitted.

 plot/util/copyobj.m
 plot/util/hgsave.m
   - These were due to a bad Ghostscript installation on my machine. 
Not an Octave issue.

 sparse/eigs.m
   - Reported: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?55534. Possible 
Apple Accelerate veclib bug. Running under OpenBLAS passes.

Cheers,
Andrew
