Created attachment 149729 [details, diff] coreutils-6.10-tests-ls-stat-free-symlinks.patch
This bug certainly isn't worth blocking stabilisation for. :)
Applies to all revisions.
Hmm, the patch makes the test not fail on HPPA, but then it isn't a good test anyway, because the actual check is wrong: # With coreutils 6.9 and earlier, this file would contain a # line showing ls had called stat on "x". grep '^stat("x"' err && fail=1 On an x86 with coreutils-6.9 I see this: lstat64("x", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 [...] lstat64("link-to-x", {st_mode=S_IFLNK|0777, st_size=1, ...}) = 0 readlink("link-to-x", "x", 2) = 1 stat64("x", {st_mode=S_IFREG|0755, st_size=0, ...}) = 0 There isn't ever a call to stat("x") while the test's regex expects it to be. For any pretty much generic Gentoo Linux, the test would never fail in the first place.
edit tests/strace and append this block of code: strace -qe stat echo > /dev/null 2>&1 || { echo "$0: strace doesn't work, so skipping this test" 1>&2 (exit 77); exit 77 } upstream is going to implement a similar fix, but since the git head has changed so much, i dont really feel like backporting all of it
fix in question is part of coreutils-6.11
