After lots of `make checks` ...

All tests passed on these GNU/Linux systems:

Intel Pentium 4 (2660 MHz);     GNU/Linux 3.6.8-2.fc17.i686.PAE (Fedora release 
17 (Beefy Miracle))
AMD64 Opteron 850, 8GB RAM; GNU/Linux Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8 (Tikanga)
AMD64 Opteron, 8GB RAM; Red Hat Enterprise Linux AS release 6.3 (Santiago)
AMD64 Opteron 2220, 24GB RAM; Ubuntu 9.10 (karmic)
Dell PowerEdge 3250: Intel Itanium-2 (1400 MHz) (2 CPUs, 4GB RAM); GNU/Linux 
2.6.18-194.el5 (Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server release 5.5 (Tikanga))
Sun Blade 1500 (1062 MHz TI UltraSparc IIIi (Jalapeno), 1GB RAM);       
GNU/Linux 3.2.1-gentoo-r2 (Gentoo 2.0.3)
DEC Alpha 4100-5/466 (4 21164 EV5 CPUs, 466 MHz, 2GB RAM);          GNU/Linux 
2.6.34-gentoo-r1 (Gentoo Base System release 2.0.3)
Apple PowerMac G5 (4 2500 MHz PPC970MP CPUs, 8GB RAM); GNU/Linux 
2.6.39-gentoo-r3 (Gentoo Base System release 2.0.3)
Apple PowerMac G4 (2 500 MHz PowerPC 7400 CPUs, 256MB RAM);    GNU/Linux 
2.6.39-gentoo-r3 (Gentoo Base System version 2.0.3)


I drilled a bit deeper into these other GNU/Linux systems:

GNU/Linux on power7 (ppc64)
 coreutils
  442 passed
   96 skipped
 gnulib
  307 passed
   10 skipped

GNU/Linux on niagra (sparc64)
 coreutils
  419 passed
  119 skipped
 gnulib
  283 passed
   34 skipped

GNU/Linux on parisc
 coreutils
  420 passed
  118 skipped
 gnulib
  hung at test-lock

GNU/Linux on mips64
 coreutils
  422 passed
  116 skipped
 gnulib
  287 passed
   30 skipped


Solaris 10 is looking fairly good too:

Sun Ultra Enterprise 2900 (4 dual/core CPUs, 1050 MHz UltraSPARC-IV, 16GB); 
Solaris 10

I tried another similar system but running from /tmp
 coreutils
  398 passed
    8 failed
      All due to cp -a giving errno 89 on dirs on tmpfs
      > src/df --o=fstype,source,target .
      Type  Filesystem     Mounted on
      tmpfs swap           /tmp
      > mkdir dir
      > src/cp -a dir dir2
      src/cp: preserving permissions for 'dir2': Operation not applicable
  132 skipped

However on this system I got a link failure:
 CC: Sun C++ 5.10 SunOS_sparc 128228-11 2010/10/14
  link failure
    Undefined symbol dev_debug in src/chroot.o
I guess this will happen on linkers that don't ignore unused functions.
So I'll apply the *attached patch* as a workaround.


BSD isn't too bad either:

AMD64 Opteron, 8GB RAM); FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE
  FAIL: tests/install/install-C.sh
  FAIL: tests/cp/nfs-removal-race.sh

AMD64 Opteron, 8GB RAM); OpenBSD 5.1 GENERIC#160 i386
  FAIL: tests/misc/sort-compress.sh
    src/seq -w 2000 | src/tac > in
    src/sort -S 1k --compress-program=gzip in # slow but ok
    PATH=.:$PATH src/sort -S 1k --compress-program=gzip
      src/sort: read failed: /tmp/sortDWKaGM: Interrupted system call
  FAIL: tests/install/install-C.sh
  FAIL: tests/cp/nfs-removal-race.sh
    Maybe due to nfs issues as tests done on nfs
  FAIL: tests/du/threshold.sh
    The du/threshold.sh failure is new and should be
    addressed by the *attached patch*.
  FAIL: tests/ls/abmon-align.sh
    This due to:
      LANG=fr_FR src/wc
      src/wc:/usr/local/lib/libintl.so.6.0: undefined symbol 
'libiconv_set_relocation_prefix'
      lazy binding failed!
      Segmentation fault (core dumped)

So then on to build failures. I don't think there is anything new
at issue below, so I don't see these as release blockers...


This failure seemed intermittent, on both Fedora 17 and RHEL 5.8.
More investigation needed:
