great progress, thanks!

GNU test failed: tests/misc/printenv. tests/misc/printenv is passing on 'main'. Maybe you have to rebase?

Looks like a regression

I'm having trouble replicating the printenv test failure from github-actions. ./run-gnu-test.sh tests/misc/printenv.sh and cargo test test_printenv are both passing for me with my changes. I'm not sure how to proceed. Do you have any suggestions on how I can debug this?

i guess it is this line:
https://github.com/coreutils/coreutils/blob/master/tests/misc/printenv.sh#L75

Oh, got it. I was ensuring that all short options could not contain '=', but that is not correct. It should just be the short unset option (-u) that cannot contain '=' as its first character. I committed a change to fix this.

I've tested this with that line of code directly (not sure why it wasn't catching on my system as it was running the same tests; I suppose it could be because I am using fish shell to run these tests), and run all relevant tests. I believe it should pass now.

Thanks for your PR :)
