Hi,
This test failure was fixed upstream by changing tail to not display a
diagnostic when reading from a pipe. The change can be found at
http://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/coreutils.git/commit/?id=8264fc615a1beb82e062949e5cf17c852fcfaaaf
or attached to this message.

Subject: tail: avoid new diagnostic when applying -f to a pipe on linux-2.3.38
* src/tail.c (fremote): Do not print a diagnostic when
fstatfs (pipe_FD, &buf) fails, as it now does on linux-2.3.38.
This avoids the spurious failure of tests/misc/tail's f-pipe-1
test, when running in input-from-pipe mode.
