Looks like a copy&paste misuse of an uninitialized value :-)

E.g. in Test-https-pfs.px is should be
  warn "Failed to resolve $testhostname, using $srcdir/certs/wgethosts\n";
instead of
  warn "Failed to resolve $addr, using $srcdir/certs/wgethosts\n";

But this disguises the real issue, that the HOSTALIASES trick doesn't work for 
you. That's why you see SKIP for certain tests. We use it to circumvent 
hostname lookups from /etc/hosts, which we can't rely on. HOSTALIASES let's us 
use our own hosts file. If it doesn't work, we have to SKIP to prevent a FAIL 
in case you have colliding entries in /etc/hosts.

Thanks for your report.
