After running the 'su-tools -s /bin/bash -c "make RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes make-check" ' command in Chapter 6, one of the tests failed. The following is a number of lines from the test output:

Is it okay to ignore the error, and if not, what's the best course of action? A search on coreutils-8.10 error on linuxfromscratch.org gives errors from the coreutils-8.9-i18n-1.patch patch. -- Frederick M.
