For OE, the finduitls package before 4.10.0 does not require getlimits to run 
its ptest. But for the new 4.10.0 version, its test cases need getlimits.

For other distros, I'm not sure if they have similar mechanisms like ptest and 
I'm not sure if they have met this problem. I just checked debian:latest and 
its finduitls package is of version 4.9.0. So chances are that they haven't met 
this problem or that their build system will not reveal such problem to them.

Regards,
Qi

So if nobody installs it, how does anyone else run the findutils test suite?
