the ones that are always present and I also mentioned on the wiki:
--------------------------------------------------------------------
/pub/hg/octave/src/data.cc : 8 failures due to different handling of 
complex Inf on sort

   /pub/hg/octave/src/syscalls.cc: 1 failure on fork. This disappears 
when octave is installed

   /pub/hg/octave/scripts/sparse/svds.m: 1 failure due to test 
sensitivity on starting point. See 
https://mailman.cae.wisc.edu/pipermail/octave-maintainers/2011-September/024715.html
---------------------------------------------------------------------

The data.cc failures are like that:

  ***** assert(log2(complex(0,Inf)), Inf + log2(i));
!!!!! test failed
assert (log2 (complex (0, Inf)),Inf + log2 (i)) expected
Inf + 2.266i
but got
NaN + 2.266i
NaNs don't match
  ***** test
 [f, e] = log2 (complex (zeros (3, 2), [0,-1; 2,-4; Inf,-Inf]));
 assert (f, complex (zeros (3, 2), [0,-0.5; 0.5,-0.5; Inf,-Inf]));
 assert (e(1:2,:), [0,1; 2,3]);
!!!!! test failed
assert (f,complex (zeros (3, 2), [0, -0.5; 0.5, -0.5; Inf, -Inf])) expected
   0.00000 + 0.00000i   0.00000 - 0.50000i
   0.00000 + 0.50000i   0.00000 - 0.50000i
   0.00000 +     Infi   0.00000 -     Infi
but got
   0.00000 + 0.00000i   0.00000 - 0.50000i
   0.00000 + 0.50000i   0.00000 - 0.50000i
       NaN -     NaNi       NaN -     NaNi
NaNs don't match
  ***** assert (sort ([NaN, 1i, -1, 2, Inf], "descend"), [NaN, Inf, 2, 
-1, 1i])
!!!!! test failed
assert (sort ([NaN, 1i, -1, 2, Inf], "descend"),[NaN, Inf, 2, -1, 1i]) 
expected
   NaN +   0i   Inf +   0i     2 +   0i    -1 +   0i     0 +   1i
but got
   NaN +   0i     2 +   0i    -1 +   0i     0 +   1i   Inf +   0i
Infs don't match
