   t810 is broken in Fedora 27.
   Bug: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?52288

Thanks for the bug report.  In the associated tarball, files x
and x,v have the same mtime AFAICT, and on my system, i see:

 $ test x -nt x,v ; echo $?
 1

for both that tarball and in my development tree (test invoked
w/ "make check TESTS=t810 VERBOSE=1 KEEPD=1").  This is the
expected result, and the expected consequence in the test should
be control passing over (skipping) the ‘problem’ command; i.e.,
no error, no test failure.

What do you see on your end?

If same as above, that indicates a weirdness in the ‘test’ of
/bin/sh (or whatever -- depends on $(SHELL) value in Makefile),
or perhaps the ‘&&’ operator that separates the ‘test’ from the
‘problem’ commands, or perhaps something else entirely... hmm.

If different, perhaps you sent the wrong tarball?
