Located using grep and inspecting each occurance of eq?, assq, consq.
The tests weren't necessarily failing, just incorrect for their
reliance on unspecified results.  Most checks involving numbers were
already using eqv?, equal?, or =.

The following were spotted but have been left alone for now:

* list.test (diff-unrolled): Uses eq? internally, called on lists
  with numbers.

* tree-il.test:

* elisp.test ("assq"): Is that correct for Guile's elisp?  _(elisp)
  Comparison of Numbers_ says that each integer does have a unique
  object in Emacs Lisp, and using ‘eq’ is valid though not
  recommended.
