Here is a partial report for official Debian package of 3.8.0-rc2.

Note that the package is compiled with LLVM, JDK and Qt libraries
available. Also, the --enable-openmp option is passed to configure.

- GNU/Linux, amd64 and i386:

  libinterp/corefcn/graphics.cc-tst ...................... PASS   18/21   FAIL 3
  scripts/gui/uimenu.m ................................... PASS    0/3    FAIL 3
  scripts/plot/util/allchild.m ........................... PASS    2/3    FAIL 1
  scripts/plot/util/findall.m ............................ PASS    0/1    FAIL 1
  scripts/plot/util/graphics_toolkit.m ................... PASS    0/2    FAIL 2

  Those 10 failures are due to not having DISPLAY set, so no worry.

  system.tst ............................................. PASS   95/96   FAIL 1

  I still have to investigate that one. It only appears in a specific
build chroot environment, so it is likely not serious.

- GNU/Linux, sparc: 4 more failed tests

  libinterp/corefcn/data.cc-tst .......................... PASS  852/853  FAIL 1
  scripts/set/powerset.m ................................. PASS    1/3    FAIL 2
  io.tst ................................................. PASS   84/85   FAIL 1

- GNU/Linux, powerpc: crash of the testsuite in jit.tst

- GNU/Linux, s390x: crash of the testsuite in scripts/general/dblquad.m

- GNU/Linux, armel, armhf, ia64, mips, mipsel: not yet tried

- GNU/kFreeBSD, amd64 and i386: compilation failure:

                                            ^

Obvious workarounds are to disable the JIT on powerpc, and to disable
the GUI on GNU/kFreeBSD and GNU/Hurd. I don't know yet what to think
about the s390x crash.
