Description
I've been adding tests to compare the output and status code of the GNU stty implementation with the uutils implementation and I'm finding that on some platforms like: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/actions/runs/19864908355/job/56925109034?pr=9517 the version of coreutils is 8.30 where this issue is not fixed yet and it makes it difficult to make tests to compare to the latest version of GNU since there's different versions on different instances

Research direction
The issue names integration tests comparing GNU stty with uutils and the GitHub Actions job linked in the report, but no repository files or test entry points. Start by inspecting the stty comparison tests and platform setup used by that job, then determine how GNU coreutils versions are selected. The desired completion criteria are not specified in the issue.
