Before working around it in gnulib: - Will you turn on some *printf-posix in coreutils again? (If not, it buys coreutils nothing if gnulib works around it.) - Does it also occur if you include printf-posix in coreutils? (If not, there's nothing to do.) - Can you reduce the testcase to a smaller width value? I would not want to include a test that produces 2 GB of output; even when piped to /dev/null, it will likely take several seconds, which is too much for a configure test. I don't have access to FreeBSD 5.0 machines. Bruno
