Note that check-turtle-serialize-syntax compares to -out.ttl reference
files, not .out which are for parser tests. It's probably the same
end-of-line issue again.

Yes.

This is expected if rasqal is built using no decimal library (gmp or
mpfr). Then it falls back to using regular double floating point
arithmetic which does not have enough precision for these test cases.
It can be safely ignored (and the test suite does not treat it as a
fatal error).

The SPARQL test suite currently needs XML/DOM.pm for the check-sparql
perl script. Basically, XML::DOM::Parser is used for parsing reference
result files since the results cannot be compared byte-by-byte.

You can install the XML::DOM module and its dependencies from CPAN.
