Nearly there. I plan to release tomorrow.

I've just committed a further two test fixes:

http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=v8.24-162-gcc05c3c
http://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=coreutils.git;a=commitdiff;h=v8.24-163-g3f02d93

There might be another tweak to tests/misc/head-c.sh
but awaiting confirmation on the suggested fix on that FreeBSD-9.3,amd64 system.

Also I've just noticed a crash issue with the recent change
to enable leaf optimization unconditionally on NFS:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/1299169
We'll probably need to revert that before release.
