misc/stdbuf hangs (cygwin still has some fifo issues that might be at play, but more importantly, dd appears to be stuck trying to write to a fifo that never gets filled because stdbuf isn't working). I had to kill two different dd processes to get the testsuite to resume. Another suspicious failure: tests/misc/test-pwd.log /home/eblake/coreutils/src/pwd.exe: error while loading shared libraries: ?: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory pwd-long: does not contain old CWD It looks like the test removes PATH from the environment; but this has the unfortunate side effect of crippling cygwin, which requires both /bin and Windows directories to be in PATH at all times for .dlls to be found and usable in running an executable, even when you don't otherwise use the PATH for the programs that you are invoking. In other words, you should be doing something similar to 'command −p getconf PATH' to determine the bare minimum PATH rather than nuking it altogether; unfortunately, command -p getconf PATH is probably not portable. -- Eric Blake
