Interesting. They're run here (not an F10 system :) ).

FWIW I don't think pwd-unreadable-parent should be skipped on Linux
either, but on every Linux/glibc system I've run it on it is skipped:
REPLACE_GETCWD is set, but so is HAVE_PARTLY_WORKING_GETCWD, and
pwd-unreadable-parent won't fail merely because glibc's getcwd fails for
enormously deep directories. (I haven't looked into why this is yet.)

(But this is a gnulib thing, not a coreutils thing. More later when
I've tested it on more systems and proved it's not my own stupidity.)
