Don't know if this can be fixed, but can you say why lapack doesn't load?

You could, perhaps, run XP inside Virtualbox (or other VM system).

What two errors? I wasn't aware that any test depending on the speed of
the processor.

What lisp did you use to run the tests? I ran the share testsuite with
cmucl and almost all of the tests pass, except for one on test_lu and
quite a few in rtest_namespaces. (After the fix for rtest_stats.)
I think I see at least one small bug in namespaces; probably needs an
unwind-protect in load_namespaces.
