As the summary suggests, there's a test failure with Coreutils-8.1 that I
missed due to our current use of '|| true' in the test suite invocation.
The thread starting at http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-
[email protected]/msg18565.html discusses what causes this issue, and I
think it's because of us building as root. As reported by Gilles
Espinasse at http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-
[email protected]/msg18590.html this is because we're untarring as root
which doesn't preserve permissions. Testing here shows that
{{{
chmod 755 src
}}}
enables that test to pass again.
Confirmation from others would be appreciated before I commit this to the
book though.
