I proposed exactly that patch in January:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-01/msg00319.html

but Bruno explained that this is a problem with the test cases,
not in the code:

http://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-gnulib/2012-01/msg00342.html

As far as I know nobody has had the time to fix the test cases,
though.  Perhaps the tests should simply be skipped on Darwin
until the test cases are fixed?
