Hi,

I have noticed that the pivot-root test on my development system has
started to fail.  After running 'make check' the result: FAIL is
recorded for the syscalls.scm test.

I have recently updated the system.  It is running Ubuntu 16.04.
 Previously, the test passed.  Now:

$ uname -r
4.4.0-59-generic

Best,

Paul.

Well this commit fixes one of the issues discussed here (the utmpx test
failure), but not the ‘pivot-root’ test failure itself.

However, it seems that the ‘pivot-root’ test is now skipped in practice
on most systems so…

Turns out I found how to make it work again in commit
1deca767be1b84b96633e317f3fcdd5165f95df3.  Let me know if anything’s
amiss.

Finally closing!  :-)

Ludo’.
