Subject: Disable the --line-bytes=$_4gb test,
X-Git-Tag: v5.0.90~88
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/cgi-bin/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=afbd32c040538f83af18579da5a887e8b3f95257;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

Disable the --line-bytes=$_4gb test,
because it'd evoke spurious failure on 64-bit systems.
