Make coreutils build on osx 10.0.8

[danieroux]

Take patch from: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/bug-coreutils/2013-01/msg00119.html

hrm intersting.
@vcunat this changes stdenv on osx, on the other hand this implies that stdenv is broken so it's' kinda ok to change right away. thoughs?

[danieroux]

I am very good and screwing up version numbers on OSX (not my native environment):

• My Mac is: 10.7.5 build 11G63b
• The patch on the coreutils mailing list is for 10.8.0 and it fixed my problem on 10.7.5

Maybe I'm missing something, but I've had no trouble getting coreutils and gettext to build on my Darwin system (10.8).

[vcunat]

Oh, I somehow missed this request. It looks like some impurity (some compilers/libs going through OK). It was accepted upstream, so I see no problem with it. It's a stdenv rebuild for darwin, but I agree it's fit for master straightaway (I'll restrict it to cause no rebuilds on other platforms).

One more thing before pushing: is it still the case that coreutils-8.21 don't build on darwin and we have to use 8.19?

[danieroux]

coreutils-8.21 builds on my darwin (after the necessary fiddling in all-packages)

[danieroux]

@lovek323 10.7.5 seems to be the difference here. gcc-core-4.6.3 also doesn't build for me - still looking at the cause for that.

[danieroux]

@vcunat @lovek323 I have a new/better? way to solve this for me: #939

I suppose this is obsolete now, otherwise reopen.
