Thank you for testing coreutils and for reporting the failure.
It looks like you might have unpacked and built as root, and now want
to run the tests as a normal user. Doing that simply won't work.
Do this instead: unpack and build as an unprivileged user, and then
run tests as that same unprivileged user.
If you want to run the "root-only" tests in a directory in
which you've built as a normal user, do this:
sudo env NON_ROOT_USERNAME=$USER make root-check
Also note that 5.96 is about 9 months old, and there have been many
stable releases since then. Please test one of these instead:
ftp://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.8.tar.bz2
ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/coreutils/coreutils-6.7.tar.bz2
