Question about Busybox Testsuite

[ChenQi]

Hi all,

Does busybox's testsuite still make sense for a sanity check?

I just built a busybox and used `make check' to perform a sanity check.
There were several failures. I built both on lastest master and 
1.21-stable release.
Are these failures expected? Or are these known failures?

Best Regards,
Chen Qi
