Yea, IBM gave us access to a bunch of machines, but they removed all the 
5.1 machines.  We used to create the binaries on the 5.1 so it would 
work on the older machines...

If the machine has internet.  You could do make Experimental in the 
build tree, and the test results will be sent to the dashboard, and I 
can have a look.

If not, you can run this in the build tree:

ctest -VV -R SimpleInstall-Stage2
ctest -VV -R BootstrapTest
ctest -VV -R Fortran

That will produce more verbose output to see why the tests are failing.

You must be using an older compiler than the one we have...
