I installed the following patch to remove fetish to coreutils in a few
more places. The only nontrivial bit here is removing fetish.sf.net

"fetish" -> "coreutils" in several places.

I had some qualms with it, because it added coupling between the test
cases and the rest of the code, by propagating BUILD_SRC_DIR and
EXEEXT from the latter to the former. Coupling like that places extra
constraints

The logfile is being rotated, and you didn't use tail's -F flag?

Hi there!
I often use tail to see, what's being logged. After tail is runnin a while,
it doesnt update the output anymore and I have to restart the command.
Whats the reason?
May this be a bug?
Thanks beforehand for help
