[Axiom-developer] failures during build

By default Axiom runs a significant portion of its test suite during
build. There are tests in the suite which are known to fail and are
open bugs. This is not a sign of a problem that should affect you.

Axiom runs about 150,000 tests during build. There are another
125,000 long running tests normally skipped. You can skip all
testing by doing:

    make TESTSET=notests

If you do run the tests this is an example of what you are likely to see:
