Hi Bruno,
Thanks for yet another test!
Here's the relevant code (what little I can see,
due to that system's broken /bin/sh):
FAIL: cp/fail-perm (exit: 1)
============================
rm: cannot remove
`/home/haible/multibuild-1210/solaris10x86-cc/coreutils-8.12.178-df9cd/tests/gt-fail-perm.O36v/DD/D':
Permission denied
SKIP: cp/fiemap-empty (exit: 77)
I don't understand what's failing, but will make a guess.
init.sh's remove_tmp_ function is supposed to run this command
chmod -R u+rwx "$test_dir_"
to ensure that every directory in the hierarchy has rwx permissions.
Could it be that chmod -R is failing to do its job?
Or that somehow remove_tmp_ is not being run?
You can probably find out by rerunning that test with e.g.,
SHELL=bash make check -C tests TESTS=cp/fail-perm VERBOSE=yes
With a decent shell, we should see far more diagnostics via set -x.

A blind patch (without understanding, always risky),
this might solve the problem:
diff --git a/tests/cp/fail-perm b/tests/cp/fail-perm
