I am finding on x86_64-apple-darwin12 that coreutils 8.21 exhibits four additional failures in gnulib-tests which aren't present in a build of coreutils 8.19. These are...
FAIL: test-getcwd.sh
FAIL: test-getgroups
FAIL: test-getlogin
FAIL: test-vasprintf-posix
The respective logs shows...
FAIL: test-getcwd.sh (exit: 7)
==============================
FAIL: test-getgroups (exit: 134)
================================
test-getgroups.c:58: assertion failed
FAIL: test-getlogin (exit: 134)
===============================
test-getlogin.c:69: assertion failed
FAIL: test-vasprintf-posix (exit: 134)
======================================
test-vasprintf-posix.c:238: assertion failed
These trace in gdb as...
