   t810 is broken in Fedora 27.
   Bug: https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?52288

Thanks for the bug report.  In the associated tarball, files x
and x,v have the same mtime AFAICT, and on my system, i see:

 $ test x -nt x,v ; echo $?
 1

for both that tarball and in my development tree (test invoked
w/ "make check TESTS=3Dt810 VERBOSE=3D1 KEEPD=3D1").  This is the
expected result, and the expected consequence in the test should
be control passing over (skipping) the =E2=80=98problem=E2=80=99 command; i=
.e.,
no error, no test failure.

What do you see on your end?

If same as above, that indicates a weirdness in the =E2=80=98test=E2=80=99 =
of
/bin/sh (or whatever -- depends on $(SHELL) value in Makefile),
or perhaps the =E2=80=98&&=E2=80=99 operator that separates the =E2=80=98te=
st=E2=80=99 from the
=E2=80=98problem=E2=80=99 commands, or perhaps something else entirely... h=
mm.

If different, perhaps you sent the wrong tarball?
