Hi Stefan,

I'm currently in the process of skipping through the failed tests on my AIX box.
There are more tests which require GNU tools like mktemp
(t7610-mergetool.sh) or readlink (t7800-difftool.sh).
But I don't have a solution or workaround for these two.
But at least there are not more failing compressed tar tests :-)

Thanks,
Armin
