Re: coreutils-9.3.147-d553ab on AIX 7.3.1

[Bruno Haible]

On AIX 7.3.1, after fixing the compilation errors
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2023-08/msg00179.html
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2023-08/msg00062.html

there are test failures. I did 3 builds:
  - 64-bit with gcc
  - 64-bit with ibm-clang
  - 32-bit with ibm-clang

(OLD) = Already reported in
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2023-03/msg00029.html

Common failures:
FAIL: tests/misc/stdbuf            (OLD)
FAIL: tests/install/basic-1        (OLD)
FAIL: tests/mkdir/p-3              (OLD)

Failures in 64-bit with gcc, 32-bit with ibm-clang:
FAIL: tests/help/help-version      (OLD)
FAIL: tests/sort/sort-continue     (OLD)

Failures only in 64-bit with ibm-clang:

FAIL: tests/factor/factor            (INFLOOP)
FAIL: tests/shred/shred-remove
FAIL: tests/sort/sort
FAIL: tests/sort/sort-debug-warn
FAIL: tests/sort/sort-merge-fdlimit

The 'factor' program is broken in this build:
$ factor 158909489063877810457
should be done in milliseconds, but is still running after 18 minutes.
Since this occurs only with ibm-clang but not with gcc, it smells like
miscompilation.

Find attached the logs.
