I've run "make dist" using the very latest of gnulib
and coreutils. Here is the result:
http://meyering.net/coreutils-6.7-dirty.tar.bz2
Here's its SHA256 checksum:
928bfff5da8b37f205c01c3ae3c6851d3c3c51a95efcc95809dabe5327397fcb

True, there is a little maintenance work in keeping
the patch up to date, but that is offset by the fact
that the c99 code is cleaner and more maintainable.
