Hello,

I build coreutils 8.5. on:
Linux xxx 2.6.9-89.0.23.ELsmp #1 SMP Fri Mar 5 17:56:21 EST 2010 i686 i686 i386 GNU/Linux

Using
> gcc --version
gcc (GCC) 3.4.6 20060404 (Red Hat 3.4.6-3)

(Ok, probably there are other tools, that might be relevant… :-(

I didn't use any configure-options, beside --prefix=...

The testsuite reported "8 of 365 tests failed" and asked, to report it.

=============================================
   GNU coreutils 8.5: tests/test-suite.log  
=============================================

8 of 365 tests failed.  (54 tests were not run). 

=============================================

Here is /test-suite.log, stripped down to just the failed test:
<<test-suiteSTRIPPED.log>>
Regards

Martin
