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.

BR2_UCLIBC_PROGRAM_INVOCATION is a toolchain configuration option,
like BR2_INET_IPV6, BR2_INET_RPC, on which some packages
depend. Therefore, it should be handled like BR2_INET_IPV6 and
BR2_INET_RPC in order to work properly with external toolchains.
Since we move it out of toolchain/uClibc/Config.in into
toolchain/Config.in.2, we rename the option to BR2_PROGRAM_INVOCATION
(since BR2_INET_RPC and others don't have UCLIBC in their name).

they should be configured with --prefix=/usr and we then need to use
make DESTDIR=$(STAGING_DIR) install to get things installed into the
staging directory. The current situation for many packages, which use
--prefix=$(STAGING_DIR) results in the staging_dir paths getting compiled
into the binary itself.
This also adds in a pile of libtool fixups. Between broken pkgconfig,
broken libtool handling, and broken --prefix settings, its a wonder
things have worked as well as they have up till now.

in the interest of our younger readers>. This works around some of the
worst damage, thus allowing utils such as 'df' to properly cross compile
so that ltp will produce proper results.
