I noticed, trying to configure ptxdist under FreeBSD (ptxdist.org), that stat 
(gstat) was missing in sysutils/coreutils.

Configure script execution ended with

checking for GNU rm... /usr/local/bin/grm
checking for GNU rmdir... /usr/local/bin/grmdir
checking for GNU sort... /usr/local/bin/gsort
checking for GNU stat... configure: error: could not find GNU stat

While I don't expect any FreeBSD list to support ptxdist (or buildroot, 
openwrt, crosstool-ng), I looked and noticed that gstat was included in 
sysutils/coreutils in (NetBSD) pkgsrc and sys-apps/coreutils in Haikuports.

Haikuports is modeled after Gentoo portage but is much smaller, is the 
package/ports system used with Haiku.

I don't know if ptxdist would have configured and installed with 
coreutils/gstat, very likely not, and I don't expect support here.

My purpose here is to point out something missing in a FreeBSD port.
