The horology result is a known failure on platforms that don't properly
support daylight savings time before 1970.  Add the following line to the
file resultmap (at the end, for example):

    horology/*-*-cygwin*=horology-no-DST-before-1970

then that test should pass.  I will do the same thing in the development
branch.

The random test can indeed be safely ignored, the point being that this
test may fail randomly.
