We plan to release coreutils-8.31 in the coming week
so any testing you can do on various different systems between now and then
would be most welcome.

    tests: tail-2/pipe-f: avoid false failure closing stdout

    * tests/tail-2/pipe-f.sh: Check closing stdout with >&-
    is effective, which avoids a false failure on NetBSD 7.1
    Reported by Assaf Gordon

commit a376de95c3ade99cbe9575aa866393ace10f4f8b
Author: Pádraig Brady <address@hidden>
Date:   Wed Mar 6 21:39:15 2019 -0800

    tests: tac-2-nonseekable: ensure we don't block indefinitely

    * tests/misc/tac-2-nonseekable.sh: Add a timeout to both
    protect and check whether we can close stdin correctly.

commit daa46dbe7d04f8f7f416d8703a5cc162a86d04ba

    tests: id/zero: avoid false failure due to sed differences

    * tests/id/zero.sh: sed on OSX will output a \n even
    if the input doesn't have a \n on the last "line".
    So ensure we always have a trailing '\n' to avoid the disparity.

    tests: test-N: fix false positives on some systems

    Testing by Assaf Gordon on OSX showed the atime wasn't
    being updated when explicitly set back in time.
    Also Debian 8.11 / mips64 was seen to not update the
    mtime when truncating an empty file.

    * tests/misc/test-N.sh: Isolate from different timestamping
    behaviors of various (file) systems, by correlating
    the timestamps with stat(1) before using `test -N`.

    doc: replace @hashchar{} with actual hash character

    Very old makeinfo-4.13 fails with:
      ./doc/coreutils.texi:2286: Unknown command `hashchar'.
      ./doc/coreutils.texi:2286: Misplaced {.
      ./doc/coreutils.texi:2286: Misplaced }.

    Reported Bernhard Voelker in
    https://lists.gnu.org/r/coreutils/2019-03/msg00016.html .

    * doc/coreutils.texi (basenc invocation): Replace @hashchar{} with
    actual hash character.  The special syntax is only required
    when referring to #line directives.

    build: avoid statx related build failure on AIX

    * src/stat.c (get_birthtime): Check also for STATX_BTIME define,
    as a different statx is available on AIX 7.2.

    tests: wc-nbsp.sh: avoid failure on FreeBSD

    * tests/misc/wc-nbsp.sh: FreeBSD and OS X don't
    treat non breaking space as printable characters.
    So use wc -L to determine printability before
    testing non breaking space functionality.

    build: fix env build where SIGNUM_BOUND is not constant

    * src/env.c (initialize_signals): A new function to initialize
    the signals array on the heap, to avoid a build failure on
    opensolaris, where SIGNUM_BOUND is not a constant.
