coreutils-7.4: make check fails under Solaris 8

[Christophe LYON]

Hello,

I have just tried coreutils-7.4 on a Solaris machine (built with GCC-4.2.0).

"make check" fails on misc/date-next-dow:
date-next-dow: test dow2: stdout mismatch, comparing dow2.O (actual) and 
dow2.1 (expected)
*** dow2.O      Tue May 12 15:06:24 2009
--- dow2.1      Tue May 12 15:06:24 2009

date-next-dow: test next-dow: stdout mismatch, comparing next-dow.O 
(actual) and next-dow.1 (expected)
*** next-dow.O  Tue May 12 15:06:24 2009
--- next-dow.1  Tue May 12 15:06:24 2009

Is this feature relying on something not available under Solaris 8, or 
should it actually pass?

Thanks,

Christophe.
