Misc Problems with coreutils-5.0.90

[Vin Shelton]

Hey Jim et al,

I wanted to send you this note because I came across a few problems
building and checking coreutils-5.0.90.  Here are the details:

1. On SunOS-5.5.1, configuring with --disable-nls, I cannot link 'who':

gcc  -g -O2   -o who  who.o ../lib/libfetish.a  ../lib/libfetish.a -lgen -lnsl 
Undefined                       first referenced
 symbol                             in file
wcslen                              ../lib/libfetish.a(vasnprintf.o)  (symbol 
belongs to implicit dependency /usr/lib/libw.so.1)
ld: fatal: Symbol referencing errors. No output written to who
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
make[3]: *** [who] Error 1

   I hacked around this by building 'who' thusly:
   make LDADD='../lib/libfetish.a -lw' who

2. As you may remember, here at work we have a Network Appliances
   fileserver, and on that fileserver, 'du' generates the following
   error under both SunOS-5.5.1 and 5.8:
SKIP: 8gb
+ du --version 
du (coreutils) 5.0.90
