When emerging coreutils with eprefix-bootstrap in stage 'basics',
binutils-2.16.1 and gcc-4.1.2 are already from the new eprefix.

Maybe we should try to not be sticked to binutils-2.16.1 during
bootstrap ?
But wait, prefix-launcher can build binutils-2.17 without texinfo,
although the patch[1] is not applied...

Btw, I'm bootstrapping an eprefix on sparc-solaris2.9 now too (being one
of the slowest machines here...)
