Builds fine here (bootstrap, configure w/o any arguments, make) on:

Linux skyscraper 2.6.20 #2 PREEMPT Fri Feb 9 01:37:06 CET 2007 i686 GNU/Linux

including 'make check' -- apart from the following, which is prob. to be
expected, since I'm building as root:

make[2]: Entering directory `/sw/coreutils/coreutils-6.7-dirty/tests/rm'
make  check-TESTS
make[3]: Entering directory `/sw/coreutils/coreutils-6.7-dirty/tests/rm'
PASS: i-never
cmp: EOF on out
0a1
> rm: cannot remove `d/f': Permission denied
FAIL: fail-eacces

Also did a -Wall build, and for completeness, here are the warnings I'm
getting -- no surprises here I take it:
