Bug description:
5 tests failed:
test_filecmp test_os test_pathlib test_shutil test_tarfile
I tried to build python 3.14.2 in Linux Mint. I downloaded the package .tar.xz
I extracted the content of the package
I ran in the Linux Mint Terminal:
cd Downloads
cd Python-3.14.2
./configure
make
make test
And there appeared the failures of the test mentioned above.
The README.rst file suggests to file a bug report given these issues, so this is the bug report.
CPython versions tested on:
3.14
Operating systems tested on:
Linux

Research direction
Reproduce the failures with the reported Python 3.14.2 build on Linux Mint using make test. Start with test_filecmp, test_os, test_pathlib, test_shutil, and test_tarfile, then compare the copy_file_range(), utime(), and filename-length failures on eCryptfs. Done means identifying whether the failures are caused by eCryptfs or by CPython and documenting a reproducible diagnosis.
