My mileage with the savannah bash code (4.3.27 is still current):

Installs have been pretty straightforward;  I get unicode errors
'cause I don't bother setting up utf-8.

OpenBSD 5.5 (amd64)     "make tests" gives apx 1000 unicode errors
OpenBSD 5.0 (amd64)     ditto
OS-X 10.6.8             "make tests" gives 1 line unicode mismatch
xubuntu 14.04.1 (amd64) "make tests" gives apx 100 unicode errors

These are fairly vanilla systems; had installed bison on the openbsds,
and a few libraries, but I don't think they were needed for this.

The only system with a real compromise was OS-X, the /bin/sh being a 
bash.  (OpenBSD ships with bash uninstalled in any case; ksh for
users and sh is sh.)

cheers,
Douglas
