This is the result of testing:

	========================================================
	   GNU coreutils 9.7.39-c8d75: ./tests/test-suite.log
	========================================================
	
	# TOTAL: 659
	# PASS:  461
	# SKIP:  194
	# XFAIL: 0
	# FAIL:  4
	# XPASS: 0
	# ERROR: 0
	
	System information (uname -a): Darwin 8.11.0 Darwin Kernel Version 8.11.0: Wed Oct 10 18:26:00 PDT 2007; root:xnu-792.24.17~1/RELEASE_PPC Power Macintosh

FAILures come from missing tests/env/env-S, tests/sort/sort-discrim, tests/timeout/timeout-group, and tests/cp/attr-existing. The latter could be SKIPped because Tiger can only handle some attribute basics:

	+ returns_ 1 cp -a --attributes-only sym1 file2
	cp: cannot create symbolic link 'file2': File exists
	+ cmp file2 file2.exp
	+ cp -a --remove-destination --attributes-only sym1 file2
	cp: preserving times for 'file2': Function not implemented

I also performed some commands with mv and cp manually that failed before. Now they do work.

Testing diffutils 3.12 does not work here – because the function SIGSEGV_FOR_ALL_SIGNALS() does not exist, so no build. But I think the coreutils are now OK!
