Update to latest stable release.
Add configure option to disable support for the Year 2038 problem.
(for now, as some versions of GCC do not yet support it)
Syncing bootstrap script fails, backport an upstream patch which can be
removed at next coreutils update.
Several headers from the stable gnulib branch cause build failure because
the changes in the imported versions are incompatible with the Makefile
that gets generated for coreutils. This version of coreutils was released
after being bootstrapped and autoreconf'ed with a significantly different
version of gnulib compared to our local gnulib, so skip importing them
(and restore the backup).
While at it, organize restoring the originally shipped version of files
into a Make foreach function.
Refresh patch:
- 000-bootstrap.patch
New patch:
- 001-bootstrap-sync.patch

Using the local gnulib source during bootstrap
allows for fine-grained control over the macros
and source files for use with coreutils
but part of gnulib instead of coreutils,
without having to wait for a release
or deal with gnulib as a git submodule.
In this case, the execution of autotools
must be skipped by force.
Autoconf and Automake during bootstrap on coreutils
only works right when using directly checked-out source.
There is a symbol in gnulib, @GNULIB_TIME@
that is not yet defined in coreutils source,
so we use the backup of lib/time.in.h instead
of the one provided by gnulib source.
