Re: coreutils-9.3.147-d553ab on Android

Part of the failures might be explained by the fact that in this
environment, hard links are disallowed. Instead, symlinks can be used.

Find attached the log file.

Additionally, a few of the gnulib-tests fails, one of the coming from
coreutils:


FAIL: test-mbsalign
===================

../../gnulib-tests/test-mbsalign.c:35: assertion 'n == 4' failed
Aborted
FAIL test-mbsalign (exit status: 134)


It's caused by a POSIX compliance issue in Android. Find attached
a patch that avoids this test failure.
