Two cases on less common OSes: On DilOS 1.3.7, based on Illumos/OpenSolaris, "multibyte-white-space" fails. log attached. From a brief look, perhaps it has something to do with the recent "hex printf" change? not sure. This is a weird system, as they try to use Illumos kernel with Debian user space, so things could be mis-configured. Few quick checks (relating to the "hex printf" implementation): === $ bash --version | head -n1 GNU bash, version 4.2.45(2)-release (x86_64-pc-solaris2.11) $ printf --version -bash: printf: --: invalid option printf: usage: printf [-v var] format [arguments] $ which printf /usr/gnu/bin/printf $ /usr/gnu/bin/printf --version | head -n1 printf (GNU coreutils) 8.21 $ which sed /usr/gnu/bin/sed $ $(which sed) --version | head -n1 /usr/gnu/bin/sed (GNU sed) 4.2.2 === On MINIX R3.3.0, "symlinks" fails, which seems similar to the previous NetBSD6.1.4 issue. Log attached. I was not able to install Ktrace/Kdump yet. I will sadly not be able to test more until next weekend. Regards, - Assaf
