viric, someone from #nixos, just pointed me to:

https://github.com/basvandijk/nixpkgs/commit/1b36f489b6fb2bde3b241d2763abfaa860a4fe55

and

https://github.com/basvandijk/nixpkgs/commit/56ff659e5d1fffd371786a3b8237129ee365ca5c

and this patch basically fools coreutils:
  touch -r src/stat.c src/tail.c

not to rebuild the docs! kind of funny solution but exactly what i need.

i thought this might be information worth sharing!
