In fact only 6 commands require the localename-unsafe dependency: date, du

So I'll adjust things to only link those against CoreFoundation.
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.
Good point,
but restricting the explicit link would help Andrew's case I think,
since he said it was fine with v9.7.
Andrew are you using homebrew or doing your own build
with --disable-nls?
thanks,
