So most of the "errors" are probably tests that are ignored.

Strange - that looks like our closed bug:

https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8071540

which should be fixed. It was a missing memory barrier issue.

Aside: we're going to have to figure out how to deal with currently 
closed bug reports.
