Some PHP tests have been observed to fail with different versions of system libraries; this is common with gd & XML.
Checking http://qa.php.net/reports/ might give you a feel for what other people are experiencing.  If you are
concerned, then you will need to log a bug and/or debug the problem.

You are using a fairly old version of the OS; this can be a contributory factor to seeing diffs.
If you have any suggestions for fixing tests to increase portability, you can submit pull requests at https://github.com/php/php-src
