Re: coreutils 5.2.1 make check fails

[Robert Moss]

Hi,

I'm getting these same errors. It's nice to know that this isn't a 
problem with GCC 3.5 CVS! I'm trying to port various bits of code over 
to 3.5 in anticipation of its dim and distant release and subsequent 
incorporation into Portage (Gentoo Linux's package manager).

"make check" support was recently added to Portage, so I've been running 
the testsuites against all the base system packages, and most are 
struggling through - except for groff, automake, flex, openssl and, now, 
coreutils. So, my question is: is there any chance anyone's fixed this 
yet? Or am I simply going to have to either exclude the test, or rewrite 
it myself?

Incidentally, several other things in "make check" are failing if one 
decides to use, for example, su from shadow, or uptime from procps. 
There appears to be a test to make sure that everything was built; 
obviously this one breaks. I'll report back at greater length about this 
one when I've analysed it more fully.

Any help with this would be greatly appreciated!

Cheers,

Rob
