This will have no effect in most cases.
The CoreFoundation dependency is needed for two purposes:
- Gnulib modules such as localename, nstrftime, fprintftime,
- $(LIBINTL) when built without --disable-nls.
Here, it ensures that the user's settings in control panels
are respected by programs that, as usual, do
setlocale (LC_ALL, "");
Since normally, on macOS, GNU packages are built with NLS enabled,
the 'env' program will still be linked against CoreFoundation.
