[Gnash-dev] What to do when "make check" failed on Gnash stable release

[Nachanon Vetjasit]

Hello,

I'm new to the process of building gnash from source.
I've grabbed Gnash 0.8.10 source, and after hunted down all dependencies:

$ ./configure --enable-media=gst,ffmpeg
$ make

Compilation goes smoothly,
but as "make check" finished, it gives 24 failed tests:

Test Result Totals:
        Total passes: 43815
        Total expected failures: 1227
        Total untested: 414
        * Total real failures: 24
        --> Total unexpected successes: 6

Unexpected failures follow:

Is this considered normal on a stable Gnash release?
If not, what is the possible root cause of each failure?

Please advice,
