Assuming that this is not a cross-compilation scenario: Yes, failing
tests are definitely a concern. It typically doesn't mean that the
test suite is broken; instead, the port of the compiler is not
working. For gcc, you should take a look at the .log files of the test
suite to see what the errors are.
