Can we change it to use strace at upstream?

[sylvestre]

sure, don't hesitate to submit a pr upstream

_{Comparing sylvestre:gnu-unfixable-tests (f525254) with main (4ca7ded)²}

Footnotes

1. 50 benchmarks were skipped, so the baseline results were used instead. If they were deleted from the codebase, click here and archive them to remove them from the performance reports. ↩

2. No successful run was found on main (668ea71) during the generation of this report, so 4ca7ded was used instead as the comparison base. There might be some changes unrelated to this pull request in this report. ↩

Pull request overview

Adds a curated list of GNU test-suite cases that should be excluded from uutils’ pass/fail percentage calculations (as consumed by the coreutils-tracking repository), focusing on tests that are structurally impossible or depend on GNU-specific implementation details rather than observable user behavior.

Changes:

• Introduces util/gnu-unfixable-tests.txt documenting the rationale and listing excluded GNU test .log entries.
• Categorizes exclusions (structural impossibility vs. libc-entry-point interception assumptions) to clarify why they’re excluded.
