Description

As came up in https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/5489, we'd love to have CI for Illumos!

Based on the advice from @Toasterson (https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/5489#issuecomment-1793402756), that should probably be done using a Vagrant box:

https://github.com/twpayne/chezmoi/blob/v2.9.3/.github/workflows/main.yml#L173-L191

Running the CI like that probably will uncover some issues, which means that we'll have to disable some utils and tests (temporarily) or fix the issues.

Research direction

Start by reading the advice in pull request 5489 and the referenced chezmoi .github/workflows/main.yml Vagrant workflow. Set up Illumos CI using a Vagrant box, then run the workflow to identify affected utilities and tests; done means the CI job runs successfully with temporary exclusions or fixes documented by the resulting failures.
