install basic-1 test fails if source directory is nfs-mounted

[Zube]

Two machines, both CentOS 4.4, one x86_64, one x86_32, fully patched and gcc 
3.4.6 used to build coreutils 6.4.

Source is on an nfs-mounted file system coming from a Solaris 9 box.

If the source is moved to a local partition, the tests succeed.
