The interesting bit of the log is:

+ FAIL: misc/stty (exit: 1)
+ stty parodd
stty: standard input: unable to perform all requested operations
+ fail=1
+ stty cstopb
stty: standard input: unable to perform all requested operations
+ fail=1
+ stty crtscts
stty: standard input: unable to perform all requested operations
+ fail=1

There is already this related workaround in the test script:

# `stty parenb' and `stty -parenb' fail with this message
# stty: standard input: unable to perform all requested operations
# on Linux 2.2.0-pre4 kernels, so skip those tests.
test $opt = parenb && continue

So what kernel version are you using?

cheers,
