I have test failures, is master the correct branch to build from?

[Luke B]

Hi,

I cloned git at github.com:openjdk/jdk.git followed the build instructions and
was able to build the JDK on master, however when I ran:

make run-test-tier1

some of the tests failed:

TEST FAILURE

Looking in the report.html for the hotspot tests I see:
"native" failed 7 tests and "bug8251158 native" failed 2 tests.

Is this expected, am I building the wrong branch? If not do I need to
install something to get those tests passing?

many thanks,
