Hi,
The next update from Gnulib will add sc_codespell. The attached patch
will fix the 'make syntax-check' errors that occur as a result.
A few typo fixes, but mostly ignoring common variable names and sed
commands that codespell doesn't understand.

Subject: [PATCH] maint: ensure that new "make syntax-check"-run sc_codespell
passes
* cfg.mk (codespell_ignore_words_list): Ignore false-positives.
(exclude_file_name_regexp--sc_codespell): Skip some file names.
* doc/coreutils.texi (mktemp invocation): Use "alphanumeric" which is
consistent with the rest of the documentation.
* src/expand-common.c: Fix typo.
* src/ls.c: Likewise.
* tests/split/l-chunk-root.sh: Likewise.
