Re: texinfo-4.13a 53 of 53 tests failed

Hi Dennis,

    looks like the testsuite has a strange dependency on Linux coreutils

1) For the record, it's GNU coreutils, there is no "Linux" coreutils.

    because the syntax to a simple "cp" is wrong.  

2) The syntax is wrong because (it seems) mktemp is missing on your system,
hence there is only one argument to the cp.  As the error messages say.
no need to leap to conclusions about portability among Unixes :).

    Will not work on UNIX systems with XPG4 or XPG6 compliance.

3) I put checks into the tests for the current release (5.1) for a
missing mktemp so it should not fail ... at least in the same way.

Best,
Karl
