Indeed. Actually 68 test failures if none of your post-1.14.0-rc2
patches are applied.

There is also a problem running gen-make.py with Python 3, when
configuring for a Windows build in Debug configuration (I didn't
notice that earlier on because I always build a Release
configuration). I'll post about that separately.

That's strange. It does succeed on my system when running with Python
2.7.17. I had "All successful" test runs for [fsfs] x [ra_local,
ra_serf, ra_svn].
