Hello,

I am experiencing a compilation problem that I have not found answers to. I am 
following the 12.4 version of Linux From Scratch on a x86_64 laptop running a 
live Arch Linux ISO (1st of nNvember 2025). For section IV, you are meant to 
enter a chroot to make the remaining packages to definitively become separate 
from the host. During this section, when building Coreutils-9.7 (applied two 
patches: upstream_fix-1.patch and i18n-1.patch), running `make 
NON_ROOT_USERNAME=tester check-root` fails at 
"tests/chroot/chroot-credentials.sh". (Attached is my test-build.log)

The thing is, the LFS IRC and mailing lists have no idea why this is the case, 
since I have the entry for the tester user with uid 101 in /etc/passwd and 
/etc/groups, and nothing failed before this package. As the LFS guide states, 
the i18n patch is a bit buggy, so I tried recompiling without the patch, but 
the same test failed.

Here are some of the specs of my system:
- Lenovo Legion 5 15IMH05H
- Intel i5-10300H
- 8GB RAM

- Latest archiso as of 25-11-2025
- No deviation from the LFS guide

Is anyone else having this issue? I couldn't find anything at all on the 
mailing list, and the only results on a search engine are for the rust-based 
rewrite of coreutils.

I shall also link to the post I made on the LFS support mailing list and its 
threads: 
https://lists.linuxfromscratch.org/sympa/arc/lfs-support/2025-11/msg00014.html

Thank you.
