Research direction

Start by reading build.rs and the changes discussed in pull request 10820, then inspect the existing gnu test for get_vs_opts. Define integration coverage for the coreutils binary, including a regression check for utility-list sorting and tests for the get_vs_opts fixes; done means these regressions run through the binary test suite.

Written by the indexing model from the issue text.

Description

Came across this in two separate PR's where it would be good to have integration tests for the coreutils binary but we have not set that up yet. In the PR where the list of the utilities is sorted in build.rs it would be good to have a regression test for that behavior. https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/10820 The other use case is regression tests for the fixes in the get_vs_opts gnu test.
