+ pwd-unreadable-parent: Skip test on non-Linux/GNU systems.
+ * tests/misc/pwd-unreadable-parent: Rather than trying to decide
+ whether this test has a chance of succeeding, run it only when
+ $(host_os) is linux-gnu. It was failing on powerpc-apple-darwin8.8.0
+ * tests/misc/Makefile.am (TESTS_ENVIRONMENT): Add host_os=$(host_os).
+
* tests/misc/pwd-long: Also allow "+" in $PWD.
Remove another coreutils-ism. Formatting cleanup.
