The skipped set is:

Skipped set:     socket.m:172 ... NSStream SSL support

The system is FreeBSD, so it has openssl installed (part of the base system, 
non-options).  The configure test in the SSL directory says:

checking openssl/ssl.h usability... yes
checking openssl/ssl.h presence... yes
checking for openssl/ssl.h... yes
checking for CRYPTO_malloc in -lcrypto... yes
checking for main in -lsocket... no
checking for ssl2_clear in -lssl... yes
checking for des_setkey in -lcipher... no
checking for CRYPTO_THREADID_set_callback... no


But, earlier, it said:

checking for libgnutls-config... no
checking for libgnutls - version >= 1.4.0... no
*** The libgnutls-config script installed by libgnutls could not be found
*** If libtgnuls was installed in PREFIX, make sure PREFIX/bin is in
*** your path.

You may not want to build base without libgnutls.
Doing so will disable SSL support in the NSStream class.
If you really want to build -base without TLS support,
add --disable-tls to the configure arguments.
configure: WARNING: Missing support for TLS functionality.


So, I'm not sure what is going on here.  It looks like it's finding OpenSSL but 
refusing to use it.  If you've got a better explanation, then let me know...
