I tried to compile coreutils-8.14-1 from abs, with standard Arch CFLAGS. It fails the "make check" in one test, test-parse-datetime. I found a recent reference<http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2011-10/msg00099.html>to a patch needed to avoid false failures in this test caused by incorrect handling of DST. (I'm not on DST right now). Shouldn't the coreutils in abs be passing this test during the build? Is it safe to ignore the failure?
I'd say it is safe to ignore that failure. BTW, it passed the testsuite fine when it was built for the Arch repos. Allan
