I tried both the patch and the subsequent commenting out of
nmerge-no's ERR_SUBST line. Neither produced positive results. See
attached file.
It looks like mkstemp may be misbehaving on your system.
It seems to be setting the first byte of the template
string to \0. Hence the bogus diagnostic.
Yep, exactly:
$ cat a.c
#include stdlib.h
int main()
{
char s[] = does/not/exist/XX;
int ret = mkstemp (s);
printf (s is '%s', s+1 is '%s', ret is %d\n, s, s+1, ret);
return 0;
}
$ cc -o a a.c ./a
s is '', s+1 is 'oes/not/exist/2YApMa', ret is -1
Now, it'd be good to find out which version of mkstemp
the code is using: the one in lib/mkstemp.c or the one
from your C library.
The one from the C library.
To that end, please see if lib/mkstemp.o
exists. If not, rebuild like this to ensure that sort is
linked to the coreutils-provided version:
env gl_cv_func_working_mkstemp=no ./configure make make check
FWIW, you can provide gl_cv_func_working_mkstemp=no also as argument to
configure.
Reconfiguring like this fixes the failure.
FWIW, after updating I also get these other failures that Jeph reported,
here's the output with GNU diff in PATH (sorry for not looking at them
any further yet).
Cheers,
Ralf
