+ * Makefile.maint (write_loser): Define.
+ (my-distcheck): Use an always-failing wrapper script, that gives
+ a diagnostic, not "false".
+ Run only "make -C tests check" with the restrictive PATH.
+ Run the new gnulib-tests/ with the usual PATH.
+
cp: by default, refuse to copy through a dangling destination symlink
* NEWS: Mention this change.
* doc/coreutils.texi (cp invocation): Describe the new behavior.
