To be honest you are not the first one who miss it. I will add a tip into the build script how to run tests.

Are you sure that all tests passed? Because 3 failed tests you have mentioned below should fail also in a 64-bit build. Thats because of a bug in sem_open() call (https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/comp.os.vms/ySlKal2n51Y). I hope it will be fixed in one of the future releases of OpenVMS.

As I've said above, that is ok. For now 3 tests are not passable. The same situation is on Alpha.
