I.e.: no failures.
Note the different system, toolchain, etc.
Same positive results with configure --disable-assert --disable-nls.


As for Andreas Schwab's report on building outside of source dir:
I didn't get the error he got (as root).
But I have one difference in make-check results; I am getting:

SKIP: fail-eperm.log

when running, as root, make check from a build directory (that has the same
parent as the coreutils source directory).
Haven't looked into this.  Expected?
