error while testing the installation of Coreutils-7.4 on my LFS-6.5-computer

[Marco Kluth]

Dear ladies and gentlemen,

I've installed the LFS-6.5-book on my computer a few days ago. The Homepage
of the "Linux From Scratch"-project is located at
http://www.linuxfromscratch.org and the detailed URL of the menitioned book
is: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/downloads/stable/LFS-BOOK-6.5.pdf  .
Maybe/hopefully you know this GNU/Linux-distribution a little bit.

The installation of the Coreutils-7.4-softwarepackage is descriped on page
59 (= section 5.17.) of the book. By the command "make
RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes check" the Coreutils test suite will be executed. I
did this tests and receive one error. There appeared a message stating, that
I should send you a bugreport via e-mail. So, I send you the .log-file of
the test suite as an attachement to my mail.

Best regards
Marco Kluth

The interesting bit of the log is:

+ FAIL: misc/stty (exit: 1)
+ stty parodd
stty: standard input: unable to perform all requested operations
+ fail=1
+ stty cstopb
stty: standard input: unable to perform all requested operations
+ fail=1
+ stty crtscts
stty: standard input: unable to perform all requested operations
+ fail=1

There is already this related workaround in the test script:

# `stty parenb' and `stty -parenb' fail with this message
# stty: standard input: unable to perform all requested operations
# on Linux 2.2.0-pre4 kernels, so skip those tests.
test $opt = parenb && continue

So what kernel version are you using?

cheers,
Pádraig.

misc/stty test failure is fixed on 8.0 (beta)
