Wow!

Is it only mail testsuite that fails? Does it always fail on the same
tests?

Descend into the failing testsuite (e.g. mailutis/mail/testsuite)
and run

    runtest --debug -v -v -v

This will produce *lots* of information on your screen and will create
files mail.log and mail.sum. Please send me these files.

Alternatively, you may run

    make RUNTESTFLAGS="--debug -v -v -v" check

from the top build directory, catch its output and send it to me.
