IMHO, we should add a warning to the tar page about that.
The problem is in Chapter 5 and not in Chapter 6. We already say:
Experience has shown that there is little to be gained from running the
test suites in Chapter 5. There can be no escaping the fact that the
host system always exerts some influence on the tests in that chapter,
often causing inexplicable failures. Because the tools built in Chapter
5 are temporary and eventually discarded, we do not recommend running
the test suites in Chapter 5 for the average reader. The instructions
for running those test suites are provided for the benefit of testers
and developers, but they are strictly optional.
I do not want to start documenting failures that may be host system
dependent.
