Subject: install: fix crash with --strip and large $PATH on ppc and sparc
X-Git-Url: http://git.ipfire.org/gitweb.cgi?a=commitdiff_plain;h=58944b541e53136dc946b4416e8d3d92a7b1be23;p=thirdparty%2Fcoreutils.git

install: fix crash with --strip and large $PATH on ppc and sparc

* gnulib: Update to the latest gnulib to pull in the fix
(v1.0-2406-g89f63027de) to allocate the $PATH processing memory
before the vfork call, which is required on ppc and sparc.
* tests/install/basic-1.sh: Ensure posix_spawnp() suports a large $PATH,
which needs careful handling with vfork() as detailed in gnulib.
