It's just wrong (at least with all recent Coreutils releases).
Note that hard links are really destroyed, but AFAIK tar does not keep
hard links correctly anyway and destroying hard links won't cause
packages fail to build at all.
The test hang issue is not related to partial environment. It's just a
known issue (for eg https://github.com/python/cpython/issues/91155) and
happens when we are unlucky.
So just run the test suite with a timeout. 1 SBU should be enough: it's
approximately 4 times of the time used by the slowest test case, on both
an old Athlon 64 3000+ and a Core i5-11300H.
I've not seen any test failure on a complete system (the expat-related
failure seems fixed by expat-2.6.2 or 2.6.1). TODO: really test this
with LFS chroot and document failures if any.

Vladimir has reported that the link target of this <ulink> is wrong.
Note that the link target and the displayed text should be the same,
thus use <ulink ... /> instead of <ulink ...> ... </ulink> to simplify
it.

The incompatibilty between systemd and CONFIG_AUDIT has been fixed since
Linux kernel 3.14, thus there is no reason to disable it on LFS. And we
are referring to pam_loginuid.so from /etc/pam.d in BLFS, which is
completely useless if CONFIG_AUDIT is disabled.

So if a test times out, it will be noted in jhalfs log.
Also remove "-l" so the output will be something like
./nptl/tst-thread-affinity-pthread: Timed out ...
instead of just a puzzling "./nptl/tst-thread-affinity-pthread".
As we've already concluded, overwriting a shared object can crash
running processes using code or data from this shared object. For
example if gdm is crashed, we may leave the system unusable :(.
