sorry, I'm lost - I don't understand why one would rename base32 by foofoo.
You can build the coreutils with the 'configure' option ...
--enable-single-binary=shebangs|symlinks
Compile all the tools in a single binary, reducing
the overall size. When compiled this way, shebangs
(default when enabled) or symlinks are installed for
each tool that points to the single binary.
... in order to get symlinks to or shebang-wrapper-scripts around a single
binary.
This saves some disk space in the installation. Is this what the discussion
is about (now)?
Have a nice day,
Berny
