Odd; "make check" works for me with coreutils-5.2.1 on Solaris 9 (sparc).

Can you please try running the following:

cd coreutils-5.2.1/tests/rm
truss -f -o /tmp/tr make TESTS=fail-eperm check-TESTS

and then send us the relevant snippets of /tmp/tr?  We need to see the
system calls just before the time that "rm" unexpectedly succeeded.

I see you're running as "root".  Do things change if you run as
an ordinary user?

What filesystems are "." and "/tmp" on your host?
