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:

+ require_root_
+ uid_is_privileged_
++ id -u
+ my_uid=99
+ case $my_uid in
+ return 1
+ skip_test_ 'must be run as root'
+ echo './touch/now-owned-by-other: skipping test: must be run as root'
+ head -1
+ echo './touch/now-owned-by-other: skipping test: must be run as root'
./touch/now-owned-by-other: skipping test: must be run as root
+ Exit 77
+ set +e
+ exit 77
+ exit 77

Since there is no word on the issue in the book, I am left not sure of
the course of action to take.

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.
