No failures on the following VMs (amd64, tested without PCRE, and only non-expensive tests):
  freebsd 9.3
  freebsd 10
  openbsd 5.5
  netbsd 6.1.4

  debian 7.6
  gnewsense 3.1 (=debian 6)
  trisquel 6.0.1 (=ubuntu 12 LTS)
  ubuntu 14.04.1

  opensuse 13.1
  fedora 20
  centos 7

  GNU Hurd/Debian 0.5 (32-bit).



Two cases on less common OSes:

On DilOS 1.3.7, based on Illumos/OpenSolaris, "multibyte-white-space" fails.
log attached.
From a brief look, perhaps it has something to do with the recent "hex printf" change? not sure.
This is a weird system, as they try to use Illumos kernel with Debian user space,
so things could be mis-configured.
Few quick checks (relating to the "hex printf" implementation):
===
$ bash --version | head -n1
GNU bash, version 4.2.45(2)-release (x86_64-pc-solaris2.11)

$ printf --version

-bash: printf: --: invalid option
printf: usage: printf [-v var] format [arguments]

$ which printf
/usr/gnu/bin/printf

$ /usr/gnu/bin/printf --version | head -n1
printf (GNU coreutils) 8.21

$ which sed
/usr/gnu/bin/sed

$ $(which sed) --version | head -n1
/usr/gnu/bin/sed (GNU sed) 4.2.2
===


On MINIX R3.3.0, "symlinks" fails, which seems similar to the previous NetBSD6.1.4 issue.
Log attached.
I was not able to install Ktrace/Kdump yet.


I will sadly not be able to test more until next weekend.
