0.76 → 0.77 Regression on hurd-i386 - exec-12.1 test fails

[msteveb]

Thanks for the report. This seems to be a minor issue in the test where fgrep is implemented as 'grep -E'. The test can be fixed by changing "fgrep -v fgrep" to "fgrep -v grep". I'll push this fix to master, but you can make a patch for this if you want.

Thank you very much. Unfortunately, this was not enough to fix the hurd-i386 FTBFS:

exec-3.3 ERR redirecting output to file
At      : exec.test:101
Expected: 'rc=ok return result=Different simple words'
Got     : 'rc=error result=child killed by signal SIGPIPE'

exec-9.7 ERR commands returning errors

Expected: '0 {error msg 1

Got     : '0 {error msg 1}'

exec-12.1 ERR reaping background processes

I don't know what's going on there. I see two additional tests have failed with no changes.
I went to the trouble of install hurd in a VM. This version:

root@debian:/tmp# uname -a
GNU debian 0.9 GNU-Mach 1.8+git20170609-486/Hurd-0.9 i686-AT386 GNU
root@debian:/tmp# cat /etc/issue
Debian GNU/Hurd 9 \n \l

I can't get any of those tests to fail.

I'll need some more information in order to fix this, otherwise I will close this ticket.
