Sorry again for not looking at this. These tests appear to be from the
Unit Tests that test Eigen and not really opensurgsim. I think they can
all be safely disabled, since we can trust that Eigen works. These
failures are mostly floating point errors. So yes Fabian, please go
ahead and disable them. If you want to just disable them all, I think if
you set BUILD_TESTING_EIGEN to OFF on line 29 in Debian/rules, you
should solve this and other future issues.
