Thanks for the report, but why are you using coreutils-8.7?
The latest is 8.12, with 8.13 due this week or next.

Can you test with coreutils-8.12 instead?
If you find any test failures there, I would be most interested.
Odds are pretty good that any failures causing test failures in
coreutils-8.7 were fixed long ago, in subsequent releases.

Of course, the mkdirat test case failed -  the complete build log is attached

Thanks.  I looked at one of the failures:

The above looks suspiciously like someone has modified this test script.
In particular, the "env SANDBOX_WRITE=..." bit is not a part of the
distributed script.  It seems to be something gentoo specific.

With no further information (about version 8.13 test fails),
I'm closing this bug.

Please report any new failures as a new bug to bugs-coreutils <at> gnu.org .
