The attached patch removes the uname and hostname files when compiling with
with_legacy = yes on coreutils.
The uname program is used extensively in autoconf files, often expecting
vendor-specific behaviour as a means of identifying the system.
On SuSE Linux systems using the OpenPKG version of hostname in system
scripts can cause some very interesting side affects.
This particular diff was make on a Release 2.0 .spec file, but should be
easily adapted to current.
