Some of this stuff is so old that it no longer matters anyway.

version 1.4.4, then you'd do well to get a newer version.

-On Mac OS X 10.5.1 (Darwin 9.1), test failure
----------------------------------------------
-
-Mac OS X 10.5.1 (Darwin 9.1) provides only partial (and incompatible)
-ACL support, so although "./configure && make" succeeds, "make check"
-exposes numerous failures. The solution is to turn off ACL support
-manually via "./configure --disable-acl". For details, see
-<http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnu.coreutils.bugs/12292/focus=12318>.
-
-
-*****************************************
-Test failure with NLS and gettext <= 0.17
------------------------------------------
-
-Due to a conflict between libintl.h and gnulib's new xprintf module,
-when you configure with NLS support, and with a gettext installation
-older than 0.17.1 (not yet released, at the time of this writing),
-then some tests fail, at least on NetBSD 1.6. To work around it in
-the mean time, you can configure with --disable-nls. For details,
-see <http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.gnulib.bugs/12015/>.
