Here's a patch for the more important of the remaining problems. I'm just guessing here; untested, of course. -- 8< -- Subject: tests: use pwd -P to simulate cd -P for portability NetBSD supports pwd -P but not cd -P. POSIX has required both for a while, so this should not be an issue for most Unix-like platforms. The test harness uses cd -P to ensure $PWD and $(pwd) agree; cd $(pwd -P) should do that, too. If pwd -P fails on some platform, with this patch, the test harness will die with 'FATAL: Unexpected exit with code 1'.
