Few preliminary results:


1.
On FreeBSD-11.0p1, the following fails:

2.
On older Alpine-Linux 3.5.2 (which uses musl-libc instead of glibc, and
busybox instead of coreutils) - the following fails:

======== Starting shared library tests ========
[...]
apiterm
filefuncs
fnmatch
fork
fork2
fts
ls: unrecognized option: f
BusyBox v1.25.1 (2016-10-26 16:15:20 GMT) multi-call binary.
[...]
===================================

So I assume one test uses "ls -f" which isn't always in busybox.

Newer alpine (3.6.2) does not fail, perhaps they've added "ls -f" support.

This might be a false positive, but for some reason that I haven't
pin-pointed yet, on some of my (automated) tests running 'make check'
results only in "make 'CFLAGS=-g -O2 -DNDEBUG' 'LDFLAGS=' check-local"
which does nothing - and so the tests are not executed.

Perhaps related to not having tty ? or some other weirdness (these tests
do not run on a terminal).
