There's a conflict with the system hostname command on SuSE 8.2 if
coreutils is build with_legacy = yes. The /etc/profile command uses
``hostname -s'' to get the short hostname, and the coreutuils hostname
command then sets the hostname to ``-s''.
Granted that you probably don't need coreutils on Linux, and that building
it with_legacy = yes is most likely redundant. On the other hand, hostname
like uname, is probably system dependant and shouldn't be replaced.
I've hacked this locally by removing the hostname command before building
the list, and the attached patch implements this.
