Now that uutils#7252 is fixed this workaround is not needed any more: This is a partial revert of uutils@fac6c29 ("util/build-gnu.sh: Bypass timeout/yes SIGPIPE handling bug") This is a revert of uutils@5004d4b ("build-gnu: replace `timeout` for `tests/tail/follow-stdin.sh`") Signed-off-by: Etienne Cordonnier <ecordonnier@snap.com>
