How did you configure? What build environment? (gcc, binutils versions, etc.) It almost looks like the build didn't include -g DWARF information, so the self-tests failed.
I confirm. When the CFLAGS environment variable is not passed to the configure script with compiler optimization options, all tests are passed. Previously I was passing options such as "-O3" and "-fomit-frame-pointer" in CFLAGS.

OK. In that case simply pass CFLAGS="-g -O3 -fomit-frame-pointer" and you'll find all tests will PASS. The self-tests need debuginfo.
