Tried (applied patch) - didn't help.  I am getting the same error on make check:

Making check in stty
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/amp/coreutils-5.2.1/tests/stty'
make  check-TESTS
make[3]: Entering directory `/home/amp/coreutils-5.2.1/tests/stty'
FAIL: row-col-1
PASS: basic-1
======================================
1 of 2 tests failed
Please report to address@hidden


Here are the first 24 lines of patched tests/stty/row-col-1 :

#! /bin/sh
# This script takes no arguments.

if test "$VERBOSE" = yes; then
  set -x
  stty --version
fi

# Setting this envvar to a very small value used to cause e.g., `stty size'
# to generate slightly different output on certain systems.
COLUMNS=80
export COLUMNS

# Make sure we get English-language behavior.
