Thank you Pádraig! You and Paul did a lot of work, and I’m happy the issue is resolved. I’ll let you know if I get any update from Apple.

Are we in a state where I can update OpenWRT to the latest coreutils master or perhaps it would be better to wait until you fix the tests and coreutils-9.2 is released? You mentioned the release is coming soon?
