Subject: [PATCH v3] gnu: coreutils: Disable inotify-dir-recreate test

From: Carl Dong <[email-masked]>

Fixed my quoting thanks to mbakke :-)

This test fails on filesystems where tail detects that it cannot use
inotify safely. See https://issues.guix.gnu.org/47935 for more details.

* gnu/packages/base.scm (coreutils)[phases]: Disable
  inotify-dir-recreate tests, quote Hurd substitute* call to reduce
  rebuilds.
