new snapshot available: coreutils-8.3.10-a4da4

[Jim Meyering]

I'm planning to release coreutils-8.4 tomorrow.
It will be a build-fix-only release, along with a minor bug fix
for the relatively new command, nproc.  I've opted to take
all of the many changes from gnulib up to this morning, because
they seem safe.  A few are required to fix actual problems.  Note that
most of the gnulib changes have no effect on coreutils, since we don't
use libunistring (yet!).

Here's the NEWS so far:
---------------------------------
** Bug fixes

  nproc --all is now guaranteed to be as large as the count
  of available processors, which may not have been the case
  on GNU/Linux systems with neither /proc nor /sys available.
  [bug introduced in coreutils-8.1]

** Build-related

  Work around a build failure when using buggy <sys/capability.h>.
  Alternatively, configure with --disable-libcap.

  Compilation would fail on systems using glibc-2.7..2.9 due to changes in
  gnulib's wchar.h that tickled a bug in at least those versions of glibc's
  own <wchar.h> header.  Now, gnulib works around the bug in those older
  glibc <wchar.h> headers.

  Building would fail with a link error (cp/copy.o) when XATTR headers
  were installed without the corresponding library.  Now, configure
  detects that and disables xattr support, as one would expect.
