pported in coreutils-8.6's stat program.
By the way, this works out of the box on BSD and Cygwin systems where
birthtime is part of stat(2), but for Linux, you'll have to wait until
the kernel implements xstat(2) before coreutils can print anything
meaningful.

sion as the
declaration. This is a good habit to get into anyways, since:
local s=$(false); echo $?
0
local t; t=$(false); echo $?
1
that is, local is an expression of its own, and succeeds if the
assignment completed, throwing out the status of any command
substitutions used to compute that val
it up with them. But given the high cost of adding or
altering syscalls, I'm not holding my breath.

Yes. Oracle's latest kernel patches to Solaris exposed a latent bug
that had been hiding in earlier coreutils releases when it comes to
setting file timestamps.

is that it is worth making the user do a bit of extra typing to
imply that they meant it. And you can always write a shell function or
alias to supply the argument automatically, if you like the ease of a
shorter command in an interactive environment.

bothered enough by the current state of things to write the
patch (using d2u on the checksum file before handing it to md5sum is
usually a decent workaround to having to teach md5sum about alternate
line endings).

printf, so it will enlarge quite a few of
the binaries to start replacing snprintf. Maybe a compromise is to
change src/csplit to use vasprintf instead of snprintf, and not trigger
the snprintf(NULL,0) bug in the first place since we already have the
vasprintf wrapper.

Commit 041c9c47 traded the 'gettext' module for the lighter 'gettext-h'
module, so as to not require the latest gettext release (we only need
the latest release if we ship gettext as a dependent library, but
coreutils has long preferred to use it as an external library).
But that commit overlooked
flicts with
[.exe) rather than giving up on the entire directory. Any other
opinions, or should I go ahead and propose a patch?

This lets me get to the point where the few remaining test failures
of coreutils testsuite on cygwin are worth investigating individually,
rather than failing almost everything up front. If you l
