On AIX 6.1, using gcc 4.7.4, and running the tests as root - get some 
differences:

make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

FAIL: tests/misc/help-version
=============================

env: '[': No such file or directory
env: '[': No such file or directory
env: '[': No such file or directory
FAIL: [
0+1 records in
0+1 records out

#### Conclusion: after building with gnu make installed, and not 
installed - on systems that had '[' at the end - I must now state - 
"Eating my previous words" - that GNU make is required to get '[' 
generated. So, please disregard my previous comment about not needing it 
- (chomp chomp) - obviously, I had gnu make installed earlier.

#### swallow, and continue...

** FAIL: tests/misc/date-debug

This might be a difference in the way the TZ environment variable is 
defined.

FAIL tests/misc/date-debug.sh (exit status: 1)

On AIX 5.3 and AIX 6.1 (with xlc):

root@x064:[/home/prj/gnu/coreutils-8.29]grep TZ /etc/environment
TZ=UTC0
root@x072:[/home/prj/gnu/coreutils-8.29]grep TZ /etc/environment
TZ=UTC0

No, those seem to be identical. So, it seems the test runs differently 
(as root?)
