Re: coreutils-9.3.147-d553ab on AIX 7.1

[Bruno Haible]

On AIX 7.1, I see two compilation errors:

1) An <uchar.h> problem, fixed today in Gnulib:
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2023-08/msg00178.html

2) This compilation error:

  CC       src/copy.o
"../src/copy.c", line 2849.31: 1506-052 (S) Duplicate case label for value 17. 
Labels must be unique.
make: 1254-004 The error code from the last command is 1.

The reason is that EEXIST and ENOTEMPTY have the same value. Like in
gnulib/lib/strerrorname_np.c line 203, one of the two needs to be omitted
from the 'switch' statement in this case. The attached patch fixes it for me.

Since it was a regression from 2023-07-22, no NEWS entry is needed.

3) Then, there are test failures: 5 ERROR and 2 FAIL.
The 5 ERROR are the same as last reported in [1]:

# ERROR: 5
ERROR: tests/rm/rm-readdir-fail
ERROR: tests/cp/nfs-removal-race
ERROR: tests/df/no-mtab-status
ERROR: tests/df/skip-duplicates
ERROR: tests/ls/getxattr-speedup

Among the 2 FAIL, there is one already reported in [1] and a new one:

# FAIL:  2
FAIL: tests/sort/sort-continue              (already reported)
FAIL: tests/sort/sort-merge-fdlimit         (new)
