I did that. See bug https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?52627. All of the failing tests have been either fixed, or understood to be outside of Octave's purview and marked accordingly.  The latest build log is available at http://buildbot.octave.org:8010/builders/clang-osx/builds/832/steps/test/logs/stdio which shows

  PASS                            15898
  FAIL                                0
  REGRESSION                          5
  XFAIL (reported bug)               45
  XFAIL (expected failure)            6
  SKIP (missing feature)            154
  SKIP (run-time condition)          23

The test still shows red as failing because of warnings, but I think this is actually incorrect and something to do with regular expressions and how pass/fail is determined.  The warnings are

 saved_opts = warning ();
 warning ("off", "all");
 warning (saved_opts);
 warning ("off", "ode15s:mass_state_dependent_provided", "local");
 warning ("off", "ode15s:mass_state_dependent_provided", "local");
 warning ("off", "ode15s:mass_state_dependent_provided", "local");
 warning ("off", "ode15s:mass_state_dependent_provided", "local");

These are not actually warnings delivered to stderr, they are part of the code that was being tested which happend to contain the word "warning".
