Maybe a bit late.
Just tested that snapshot and have some failures
grep FAIL test_i486/20091114*/coreutils-8.0.108-3aff3-02.log
FAIL: rm/fail-eperm
FAIL: misc/pwd-long
FAIL: rm/fail-eperm (exit: 255)
FAIL: misc/pwd-long (exit: 255)

Set with
 cd $(DIR_APP) && ./configure --prefix=/usr \
     --enable-install-program=hostname \
     --enable-no-install-program=kill,uptime

Both tests fail for the same reason
FAIL: rm/fail-eperm (exit: 255)
===============================

fail-eperm: considering /tmp/cceXxKh6.c
Insecure directory in $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at
./rm/fail-eperm line 88.

FAIL: misc/pwd-long (exit: 255)
===============================

Insecure directory in $ENV{PATH} while running with -T switch at - line 73.

perl is v5.10.1
