Hi,

I have noticed that the pivot-root test on my development system has started to fail.  After running 'make check' the result: FAIL is recorded for the syscalls.scm test.

I have recently updated the system.  It is running Ubuntu 16.04.  Previously, the test passed.  Now:

$ uname -r

4.4.0-59-generic

Best,

Paul.
