We currently do not run the pbobos / druntime unittests. There's a
"unittest" target in the Makefile, so it's possible to use "make
unittest" in the phobos/druntime directory, but the Makefile is outdated
and won't work.

We really need to properly integrate the unittests, but for now running
phobos tests is not supported.

The "unexpected" failures are kinda expected ;-) The dmd testsuite
hasn't been ported 100% to the gcc testsuite so some tests fail because
they can't find some extra files or because of similar errors. Some
failures are probably real problems though.

Anyway, don't expect all tests to pass for now. Just use the test suite
for regression testing when merging a new frontend.
