Hi, just for good measure;

I believe that Alice has tried my (feature-)patched version of coreutils, available from the experimental Arch-User-Repository:

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=63133 

As I write in the comments, I am unable to reproduce the failing checks on any of my machines.
I would recommend Alice to try and compile and test a clean coreutils 8.20 before doing any further debugging.

FAIL: test-getlogin
===================
test-getlogin.c:45: assertion failed

You can see the test here:
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=blob;f=tests/test-getlogin.c;h=449ceaa;hb=HEAD#l45

Does this happen every time for that test?

I notice the test is not checking for
  errno==ENOENT or errno=ENXIO
Could you adjust the test to print out the
errno that's being returned?

thanks,
Pádraig.
