Excerpts from Jim Meyering's message of Tue Sep 06 05:09:50 -0400 2011: Hi All,
> I've confirmed that with these (though not yet with your latest irix > fix) changes, all coreutils tests pass on both Fedora 15 and Solaris > 10. I found yesterday that the misc/stdbuf test fails on Solaris 9, although I think the failure would happen on 10 as well. The failing part of the test is: + stdbuf -o1 no_such stdbuf: failed to find `libstdbuf.so' + test 125 = 127 + fail=1 After walking through the code, I think that because no_such is not in a PATH (obviously) the default locations (. and $PKGLIBEXECDIR) are searched unsuccessfully for libstdbuf.so. If $PKGLIBEXECDIR/libstdbuf.so exists (I tested this), the test passes as expected. The other tests pass because they are running tools that live in the same directory as libstdbuf.so so stdbuf.c:set_LD_PRELOAD is happy. I think this is entirely a test bug and that the program is functioning correctly. A valid fix, if the previous statements are correct would be to do something like changing no_such to $srcdir/no_such. This should force program_path to be $srcdir and thus the search for libstdbuf.so would be successful. I hope this helps. All other tests passed for me.
