This has now been fixed in NixOS by having build users belong to the ‘nixbld’ group and no supplementary groups. The test suite passes on GNU/Linux but not on Darwin where a couple of tests fail [0]: http://hydra.nixos.org/jobset/gnu/coreutils-master/all A Coreutils “view” is available at: http://hydra.nixos.org/view/gnu/coreutils-master Successful builds yield a page containing the tarball, NixOS binaries (I can add Debian, Fedora, etc. if need be), the manual in PDF/HTML, and a code coverage report.
