I agree that would be nice and something we need to do before release,
I may let us sort that one test in M4 to enable the M3 build, I have to
take a pragmatic approach to this.

That said, there is a more pressing issue:

https://autobuilder.yoctoproject.org/typhoon/#/builders/44/builds/1686

which is somehow seemingly related to the coreutils change, I just
can't see how as yet :/

(as well as the gcc-plugin reproducibility issues)
