Awesome! We really need more platforms covered in the autobuilds.

I agree with Yang Tse that disabling these might not be the best idea, at
least not until we understand the reasons for these failures properly.

I guess we can adjust the "check" conditions for lib518 and lib537 to deny the
test cases to run on this platform.

Aaah. You're right, they need to be built/used separately since the curlx_*
functions are not part of the libcurl API... I'll make sure the affected test
executables get a suitable dependency so that they build and link with
lib/timeval.c. I commited my fix just now.
