Actually, I do, while making coreutils (the git tree, not tarballs)
cleanly crosscompile'able in sysroot.

The unpredictable point the the imported version. If it does
an git fetch, you dont know what you're actually getting in.
Building the same coreutils version twice (with some delay in 
between) is likely to actually run on _different_ trees.
Now I curious how some wants to do proper QM on that ;-o

Fine. Let's see when it really replaced gnulib. Guess takes a while,
but I needed a solution right now.

actually, real use will be in certain medical embedded devices
used all around the world ...
