FYI coreutils + gnulib tests are now passing on Yosemite.
Fixes include:

   I am finding that the single failure seen on Mavericks for the 
coreutils 8.23 testsuite...

FAIL: test-getcwd.sh

=====================================================
   GNU coreutils 8.23: gnulib-tests/test-suite.log

# TOTAL: 306
# PASS:  293
# SKIP:  12
# XFAIL: 0
# FAIL:  1
# XPASS: 0
# ERROR: 0

when run as sudo, is replaced by two new errors and two new failures
under Yosemite as sudo.

link-deref.sh: set-up failure: 
ERROR: tests/cp/link-deref.sh
FAIL: tests/cp/link-no-deref.sh
fiemap-perf.sh: skipped test: this file system lacks FIEMAP support
fiemap-2.sh: skipped test: this file system lacks FIEMAP support

FAIL: tests/cp/link-symlink.sh

ERROR: tests/ln/hard-to-sym.sh

============================================================================
Testsuite summary for GNU coreutils 8.23

# TOTAL: 563
# PASS:  397
# SKIP:  162
# XFAIL: 0
# FAIL:  2

# ERROR: 2

Are these failures already known and are there any workarounds? I have attached
the bzip2 compressed test-suite.log in case it helps.
     Thanks in advance
