   The GNU su is host specific enough that there has been discussion
   of removing it from coreutils and moving it into a hostutils
   package.

FYI, there is a GNU project called sysutils exactly for this type of
stuff.

And the mind boogles why GNU su must run on non-GNU platforms, why not
simply install it on systems where it is known to work, and not
install it where it is known to fail?
