I've created a new coreutils package that I hope addresses some of the 
concerns recently voiced about it:

  -cp.exe corrupting files when copying from binary to text mounts.
  -printf.exe (and others) being statically linked with libintl.a and 
libiconv.a created large binaries.

There are also some patches I'm considering adding from fileutils-4.1-2 
(proposed-fileutils-patches.txt). I got these by diffing fileutils-4.1 
with the src package for fileutils-4.1-2. I was hoping that the previous 
maintainer could comment on these patches so I could figure out if they 
are relevant for the coreutils package.
