I want to make a coreutils-7.2 release soon.

There are still a few minor problems we haven't been able
to reproduce (like the install-related test failure), and
some portability problems, but there have been enough real
bug fixes,

  http://git.sv.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/plain/NEWS

that I don't want to wait much longer.

If you know of a bug or portability problem that hasn't
yet been addressed, please reply here.

I just fired off builds of 7.1.49-ebb9 on ten platforms. Given that I think there is at least one non-c99 compiler in that mix, the results will probably be... interesting :-). (More-so because I expect failures due to 'make check' being run on a known-flaky NFS volume.)

How badly do you want problems fixed before release? ;-) (And how would you like me to submit failure reports? One per platform?)
