The test_shutil failure has already been reported; bug #1076467 and it 
seems to have to do with running as root.

As for the test_macostools failure, lets take this one step at a time.  
What is the value for sys.prefix?  Does that directory exist on your 
machine when you run the test?

Jurjen, can you put some more context with that ?

What does test_locale have to do with Unicode ?

Yep, I have met this too.
It has to do with the uniccodeobject.py, that does not want 
HAVE_USABLE_WCHAR_T without HAVE_WCHAR_H (sorry if I got the 
names slightly wrong).
This is the case on the Mac, where WCHAR_T is defined in another file, 
and WCHAR_H does not exist.
Who can fix unicodeobject.h?
Thanks,
Jurjen

OK, I have no problem with the test failing.  What happens if you execute 
using sudo; ``sudo make test``?

The test__locale failure is known about (OS X does some funky stuff with 
C's locale library).

As for the test_macostools failure, I will need to recompile with --enable-
toolbox-glue to see if I get the failure as well.
