Indeed, to the untrained eye testsuite results look somewhat reasonable:

                === libjava Summary for unix ===

# of expected passes            2316
# of unexpected failures        20
# of expected failures          16
# of untested testcases         111

Unfortunately, there seems to be no up-to-date documentation on what the
missing bits are.
