Not a duplicate. Closed other branch.

With that patch suggested in PR1237, it removes the test-getlogin error. But I get another error in the env-S module. Not sure what that is, but I list the first few, but there are another dozen similar failures. Weird to have that issue pop up. Will push patch suggested above.

one other thing, the 8.32 uname in coreutils gives arm64 where the apple one returns arm, and it breaks most package's building if you have coreutils-default installed (I do)

[sth0]

Which Apple system versions? I see the “apple one” returning arm64. This is macOS 26.5.2 Tahoe on an M4 CPU and returns “arm64”(e). Maybe this is an argument to not install the coreutils-default package or just a reminder that it can cause these problems? % /usr/bin/uname -m arm64 % /usr/bin/machine arm64e % /usr/bin/arch arm64 %

Ditto as @sth0 on macOS 26 (tahoe):
