so how many tests does GCL fail at the moment?

so how many tests do CMUCL, SBCL, ACL and Lispworks fail?

CLISP:
28 out of 6106 total tests failed: SYMBOL-CALL-METHOD, 
   SYMBOL-CHANGE-CLASS, SYMBOL-DEFINE-METHOD-COMBINATION, 
   SYMBOL-ENSURE-GENERIC-FUNCTION, SYMBOL-INVALID-METHOD-ERROR, 
   SYMBOL-MAKE-INSTANCES-OBSOLETE, SYMBOL-MAKE-METHOD, 
   SYMBOL-METHOD-COMBINATION, SYMBOL-METHOD-COMBINATION-ERROR, 
   SYMBOL-UPDATE-INSTANCE-FOR-DIFFERENT-CLASS, 
   SYMBOL-UPDATE-INSTANCE-FOR-REDEFINED-CLASS, CL-FUNCTION-SYMBOLS.1, 
   CL-MACRO-SYMBOLS.1, CL-CONSTANT-SYMBOLS.1, 
   CL-TYPES-THAT-ARE-CLASSES-SYMBOLS.1, DEFPACKAGE-1, DEFPACKAGE-2, 
   DEFPACKAGE-3, DEFPACKAGE-4, DEFPACKAGE-5, DEFPACKAGE-6, DEFPACKAGE-7, 
   DEFPACKAGE-8, TYPES-3, TYPES-6, TYPES-9, TYPES-9A, ALPHANUMERICP.5.

19 fail because some features are not implemented (yet)
8 defpackage because we do not store the package documentation (yet - a
patch is ready)
ALPHANUMERICP.5 because of some UNICODE confusion.
