You only failed 3 of 100 modules, reading __DATA__ handles are not
supported, and test 103 failed.
test 103 is unstable.
If you don't need that just do
make install
If you need you have to watch svn commit messages if these problems
have been fixed lately.

Theoretically yes.
But I need to add a bit more B::CC stuff to add support for the new
optimizations options I added to B::C recently.
Some options do not work yet, I just fixed -fav-init2 today for B::CC.
And then I wanted to get a better overview what is now stable
and what not from the cpantesters reports.
That means adjusting the TODO lists.
