* build-aux/check.mk ($(TEST_LOGS)) [!GNU_MAKE]: Check for a $(TESTS) test in the build dir, before one in srcdir. --- In gnulib-tests, 'make check' causes non-GNU make to try to update and execute $srcdir/test-EOVERFLOW: $ pmake check [...] pmake check-TESTS gcc -std=gnu99 -g -O2

test failures on AIX 5.3: misc/sort-merge, test-copy-acl.sh

Hi Jim, I'm getting the following test failures on AIX 5.3. They are using current git coreutils and gnulib, and gettext 0.16.1 IIRC. The UNKNOWN-dirty is because I must like it that way, I guess. ;-) Cheers, Ralf === GNU coreutils

[PATCH] Support arbitrary-precision arithmetic in expr.
