Test results on selected platforms:

* On AIX, the previously reported build failures are gone.
  When I exclude the ibm-clang compiler (buggy, like its predecessor xlclang),
  I get consistent results:
  - On AIX 7.1:
    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
    FAIL: tests/help/help-version
    FAIL: [
    FAIL: tests/sort/sort-continue
  - On AIX 7.3.1:
    FAIL: tests/help/help-version
    FAIL: tests/sort/sort-continue
    FAIL: tests/misc/stdbuf
    FAIL: tests/install/basic-1
    FAIL: tests/mkdir/p-3

* CentOS 5: The previously reported link errors are gone. Still, 4 test 
failures:
  FAIL: tests/sort/sort-continue
  FAIL: tests/sort/sort-merge-fdlimit
  FAIL: tests/cp/attr-existing
  FAIL: tests/mv/part-symlink
  Same as reported in
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2023-08/msg00066.html

* Alpine Linux 3.14 (on this machine I have perl installed):
  FAIL: tests/cp/preserve-mode
  (same in both coreutils-9.3.147-d553ab and coreutils-9.3.156-b3afb)

* FreeBSD 13.1/x86_64: All tests pass.

* Cygwin 2.9.0 (on this machine I have perl installed): 8 ERROR and 28 FAIL.
  Compared to what I reported in
  https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/coreutils/2023-08/msg00081.html :
  - The same ERRORs.
  - Two FAILures are fixed:
      FAIL: tests/cksum/b2sum
      FAIL: tests/cksum/sm3sum
  - tests/cksum/md5sum-bsd still fails, despite the
    "tests: avoid false failure on cygwin" commit
