There are a lot of failures there, though none seem to
be all that serious for real-world use.  Probably the best
thing to do is to go through them one by one.  The first
failure is in tests/tail-2/F-vs-missing.sh, and the log
says:

+ rm -rf /data/prj/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.20/gt-F-vs-missing.sh.f7EB
rm: cannot remove '/data/prj/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-8.20/gt-F-vs-missing.sh.f7EB': File exists

This indicates that coreutils 'rm -rf' somehow missed some
files under that directory, and then tried to remove the
directory without removing the files, or perhaps the kernel
didn't remove the files, or something like that.

Can you please 'truss' the test and see what system calls
were executed near the point of failure?  One way to do that
would be something like this:

   cd tests
   truss -f -o /tmp/tr make check TESTS=tail-2/F-vs-missing.sh

and then look near the end of /tmp/tr.

All make invocations must be from the top level directory now,
where the Makefile is. Notice the cd .. above which moves you
to the top level dir

So this is from the same dir as above but is missing the required tests/
prefix to the TESTS path

That looks like a valid test issue.
I'll apply the following in a little while.
