Jerry, I am unable to duplicate all the errors with a more recent checkout on my windows box. I think I might be defaulting to the compiler that came with strawberry perl, however, so I'm not willing to simply close out the ticket.
Are you still seeing these errors with r28040? I'm getting the more respectable list Test Summary Report ------------------- t/op/arithmetics.t (Wstat: 256 Tests: 26 Failed: 1) Failed test number(s): 7 Non-zero exit status: 1 t/op/sprintf.t (Wstat: 0 Tests: 308 Failed: 1) Failed test number(s): 157 t/op/time.t (Wstat: 256 Tests: 6 Failed: 1) Failed test number(s): 3 Non-zero exit status: 1 t/pmc/complex.t (Wstat: 256 Tests: 53 Failed: 1) Failed test number(s): 48 Non-zero exit status: 1 t/pmc/float.t (Wstat: 256 Tests: 42 Failed: 1) Failed test number(s): 23 Non-zero exit status: 1 t/pmc/threads.t (Wstat: 256 Tests: 20 Failed: 1) Failed test number(s): 4 Non-zero exit status: 1 t/pmc/timer.t (Wstat: 512 Tests: 6 Failed: 2) Failed test number(s): 3, 5 Non-zero exit status: 2 t/dynoplibs/myops.t (Wstat: 256 Tests: 10 Failed: 1) Failed test number(s): 5 Non-zero exit status: 1 t/examples/tutorial.t (Wstat: 256 Tests: 35 Failed: 1) Failed test number(s): 9 Non-zero exit status: 1 t/codingstd/trailing_space.t (Wstat: 256 Tests: 1 Failed: 1) Failed test number(s): 1 Non-zero exit status: 1 Files=584, Tests=11266, 1122 wallclock secs ( 4.39 usr + 1.20 sys = 5.59 CPU) Result: FAIL Failed 10/584 test programs. 11/11266 subtests failed.

We should separate out the remaining ones listed here (assuming you agree with the list). (and I just fixed the trailing space error, so discount that one.)
