coreutils 5.0 failed rm3 and rm5 tests

[Tony Leneis]

I built coreutils 5.0 on a Tru64 4.0F system, and it fails the rm3 and rm5
tests; however, I'm not sure it's a problem with rm.  The output from make
check shows a blank line missing from the output of rm:

I think the problem is in the test harness - it's not taking into account
the final line from rm that ends in "? ".  When it runs tr that gets
converted into "\n " (i.e. the last line of the file contains only a space)
which sed then turns into an empty line.  The simple solution, I suspect,
is to simply add a blank line when creating the exp files in both the rm3
and rm5 test scripts.
