Ask Mark what's the problem.  He was already as far as removing
su, kill and uptime from the binary package but then...

I was trying to get make check to finish completely but it looks like it will take more time than it's worth. One problem it has is with the present version of cygwin (1.5.9) recursive commands don't work (ie chgrp -R). That


Huh?  What should be the reason for this?  The recursive commands from
fileutils are runnning fine under 1.5.9.  And I have a local build of
coreutils which also doesn't have problems under 1.5.9.

fileutils is irrelevent because the recursion code was overhauled (the bds fts library is used). My local build of coreutils gives me problems for chgrp -R, I'm assuming there are problems with other commands:
