It appears that grub-mkconfig_lib has an explicit dependence on GNU
coreutils. This is ok, but it requires the GNU versions of 'stat' and
'readlink' come before the native BSD versions in the path. I would argue
that this is a bad thing.
I could not find a ./configure option that would allow we to set a specific
path for GNU coreutils so that grub-mkconfig_lib could explicitly use the
GNU versions rather than the native ones. All I can say is that it would be
a nice addition.
Of course the problem can be worked around, but I generally think it's a bad
idea to put foreign tools ahead of native ones in the path. To much chance
of breaking native scripts.
