	We were patching m4/rename.m4 to workaround an upstream issue, but this triggers a auto* rebuild and a configure rerun when we build coreutils using whatever auto* versions the user has installed. Doing a manual autoreconf run after patching is unfortunately not an option as the coreutils configure.ac isn't compatible with the autotools version we have in BR. Instead, simply cheat by patching configure as well and setting the timestamp of m4/rename.m4 sufficiently far back to ensure make doesn't consider ./configure out of date. Long term we should convert coreutils to Makefile.autotools.in format, but this is good enought for 2009.11. Signed-off-by: Peter Korsgaard <jacmet@sunsite.dk>
2009-07-31	coreutils: bump version	Thomas Petazzoni
	Coreutils 6.9 was broken with glibc >= 2.6, due to a coreutils internal function being named like a glibc function. This has been fixed in more recent coreutils version, by http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/pipermail/pld-cvs-commit/Week-of-Mon-20070514/155466.html. Therefore, we upgrade coreutils to its latest version, 7.4, which raised two problems: * Recent coreutils releases are not anymore available as .bz2 archives, only .xz archives. Since this archive format is not supported by Buildroot yet, and the corresponding tools are not widely available yet, we fallback to the bigger .gz format for the coreutils package. * The rename bug detection script m4/rename.m4 was broken, leading coreutils to try to include windows.h and compile some Windows-specific code. We introduce a patch to fix this, patch which has been taken from gnulib. We also make sure that this workaround is nevery compiled in by passing gl_cv_func_rename_dest_exists_bug=no to the configure script.
