Re: bug#27640: Bug-report

[Paul Eggert]

Looking at that test's source code, the test was clearly incorrect for 
Unix-like systems, as it incorrectly assumed a 1-1 mapping between user 
names and user IDs. I fixed that in Gnulib by installing the attached 
patch. Wolfgang, could you please try this on your Linux from Scratch 
system? You can do that by downloading these two files:

http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/plain/tests/test-getlogin.c
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/gnulib.git/plain/tests/test-getlogin_r.c

Use the first to replace the existing test-getlogin.c in your coreutils 
source directory, and put the second next to the first.
