I just got around to building this yesterday. Without having much time
to devote to testing, I noted a few minor things.
$> uname -a
Linux skyscraper 2.6.23.11 #1 SMP Sun Dec 16 11:54:12 CET 2007 i686 GNU/Linux
./configure \
--disable-assert \
--enable-no-install-program="groups id kill su uptime hostname arch"
configure --help sez:
# --enable-no-install-program=PROG_LIST
# do NOT install the programs in PROG_LIST
# (comma-separated, default: arch hostname su)
I think the latter should be changed into:
(comma-separated, default: arch,hostname,su)
I initially built having spaces instead of comma's.
$> RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=1 make -k check
First time around I got two fails running this:
FAIL: groups-version.log
FAIL: preserve-gid.log
Hmm, I'm not even installing groups, as specified in the configure
option...
$> cat groups-version.log
FAIL: groups-version.log (exit: 1)

After I noticed the --enable-no-install-program list needed to be comma
separated, I did a make distclean, followed by:
./configure \
--disable-assert \
--enable-no-install-program="groups,id,kill,su,uptime,hostname,arch"
After the build, then once again did the make check:
Hmm, now I have three fails:
FAIL: groups-version.log
FAIL: preserve-gid.log
FAIL: test-getaddrinfo
I think this latter run must have been while being offline.
Anyway, I did some other rebuilds, always after make distclean, and one
time I also noted a fail on one of the infloop tests, either
./tests/ls/infloop.log or ./tests/tail-2/infloop-1. I didn't jot that
down, so I can't tell which one it was. I couldn't reproduce that very
quickly after that (doing make distclean, configure, make, make check).
After that, wiped out the entire coreutils directory, did a fresh
build, and got only the two fails as noted above.
