Builds here (amd64 cowbuilder).

The failing test file has two tests. Both check whether some resource 
consumption is approximately the same as what times() reports. There 
is a tolerance (20% for user time and 40% for system time) and the 
tests fail if the measured resource consumprion diverges by aa great 
factor.

The divergence varries, although I wasn't able to make the test fail, 
no mater how much I loaded the CPU.

Maybe this gives some clues.
