Two more failures


1.
on older Cent OS 6.5, and on OpenSolaris 5.11/i86pc,
"tests/misc/tty" tails.

Cent Os 6.5:

On centos the last failure is false-positive (no space left on device,
a problem on my test VM).

The tty test was changed recently:
  commit 937388c3059d321797ac327452d71494fcebc655
  Date:   Wed Apr 5 11:34:42 2017 -0700
  Subject: tty: handle misconfigured namespaces

Could this be related?



2.
Perhaps low priority, but building
TinyCC (tcc) on Debian 9.1/x86, two tests fail:

On a separate note,
It seems that this latest coreutil build+test requires more disk space
than before - I seem to be running out of disk space on several VMs now.
Could be due to expected growth (which is fine),
or perhaps some new test leave a large file around?
