As annotated above, the important error is "/bin/stty: invalid argument
'sane'". Now, when I re-run the test with /usr/bin/stty ->
/usr/bin/gnustty, the tests pass again:
root@sbuild:/build/reproducible-path/procps-4.0.4/testsuite# rm /usr/bin/stty

----------------------------------
The "/bin/stty: invalid argument 'sane'" error from rust-coreutils is due to
the fact that coreutils does not support[2] "combination" options in general,
and the "sane" option specifically.
