Hello.
I was looking at coreutils test suite on illumos.
There are currently about 5 failing tests.
First are 2 df tests. They assume that struct mntent *getmntent (FILE

I am glad that these days plain ' is being used instead of goofy `'
$ LC_ALL=C cp -v /dev/null /tmp/$RANDOM 21
'/dev/null' - '/tmp/29920'
