I haven't kept up so I don't know if this is known, but on 5.12.1 and
5.12.2 lib/locale.t fails on Solaris 10:

    Test Summary Report
    -------------------
    ../lib/locale.t
(Wstat: 0 Tests: 117 Failed: 6)
      Failed tests:  105-106, 108-109, 113, 115

Specifically:

    # The following locales
    #
    #       ar_SA.UTF-8
    #
    # had problems.

However, this is new in this RC:

    op/stash.t
(Wstat: 0 Tests: 31 Failed: 0)
      TODO passed:   26

Which is:

    ok 25 - ...and an __ANON__ stash
    Segmentation Fault - core dumped
    not ok 26 - anon CVs in undefed stash don't segfault # TODO anon
CVs not accounted for yet
    # Failed at t/op/stash.t line 148
