Re: coreutils fails on check for "mv": FAIL: no-target-dir

[Jared Martin]

Thanks for the response Paul, I've done as you've requested.

I probably should mention what the log files make obvious: I'm not root and
I'm installing coreutils in a private directory. Now it occurs to me that
perhaps my binutils is not hitting on all eight cylinders, but that is
extraneous to your immediate testing needs. If the fault is one of my other
commands, then your tests are doing exactly the right thing, I think. I
would appreciate it if you could deduce which one: I am not a unix systems
programmer, just a user who is trying to keep his basic tools up-to-date
because his company won't.

Attached is the log file created by

$ echo ${PWD#/*/*/*/*/*/*/}; VERBOSE=yes make TESTS=no-target-dir check
> check_no-target-dir_verbose.log 2>&1
coreutils-5.97/LinuxRHEL64_30WS/tests/mv

and below are the commands and results you requested I perform and report:
