Some distributions have already adopted uutils as /bin/ls. Continuing to compare against the binary at that path would only result in comparing against a much older uutils version and fail to compare against GNU Coreutils at all. Ubuntu 25.10 has prefixed GNU's binaries with "gnu", so mention this to retain the intended behavior.

GNU testsuite comparison:

Skip an intermittent issue tests/date/date-locale-hour (fails in this run but passes in the 'main' branch)
Skipping an intermittent issue tests/pr/bounded-memory (passes in this run but fails in the 'main' branch)
Congrats! The gnu test tests/tail/retry is no longer failing!
Note: The gnu test tests/tail/tail-n0f is now being skipped but was previously passing.
Congrats! The gnu test tests/cut/bounded-memory is now passing!
Congrats! The gnu test tests/expand/bounded-memory is now passing!

Why ls only? It is too specialized document.
