Arch Linux

Removed symlinks from /bin in install.
See https://www.archlinux.org/news/binaries-move-to-usrbin-requiring-update-intervention/ for details on the filesystem changes.

On some systems, the test-getlogin will fail. This is reported upstream, and has nothing to do with our patch.
The failure should be in the test, and not the getlogin functionality, and can thus be ignored.

ok

I've exchanged the PKGBUILD and left the buildnumber unchanged, as only the checks has been changed.

work: with
make RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=no

strange !!

I'm unable to replicate the error on any on my archlinux machines (even tried on a fresh 64 bit installation, with only: base, base-devel, yaourt and sudo installed).

I get:
% ./test-getlogin; echo $?
0

and:
% ./test-select; echo $?
Invalid nfd test... passed
Invalid fd test... passed
Unconnected socket test... passed
Connected sockets test... passed
General socket test with fork... passed
Pipe test... passed
0

But I'll upload a new package later where expensive tests are disabled.

That does not help me, I need your "gnulib-tests/test-suite.log" file. Please put it in a pastebin, and paste the url.
I can also be reached on IRC: #coreutils-icp @ freenode

But where is the error?
You should receive an output log from the tests... If you don't know how to read it, please put it on a pastebin and paste the link.

work: with
make RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=no

64bit

Which test fail?
And what architecture are you using? It compiled on my 64bit test machine...
There has been some issues with a single test (the 'test-getlogin' test), if it is just this one which fail, i'll comment out the 'check' section as with the previous version.

ok,in local work.

You should never build packages as root.
