Coreutils tools The version of the function futimens used by Coreutils is incompatible with the version that current Glibc provides, so we'll rename the function: for file in src/{copy,touch}.c lib/utimens.{c,h} ; do \ cp -v $file{,.orig} sed 's/futimens/gl_&/' $file.orig > $file done Prepare Coreutils for compilation: ./configure --prefix=/tools Compile the package: make To test the results, issue: make RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes check. The RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes parameter tells the test suite to run several additional tests that are considered relatively expensive (in terms of CPU power and memory usage) on some platforms, but generally are not a problem on Linux. Install the package: make install The above command refuses to install su because it cannot install it setuid root as a non-privileged user. By manually installing it with a different name, we can use it for running tests in the final system as a non-privileged user and we keep a possibly useful su from our host first place in our PATH. Install it with: cp -v src/su /tools/bin/su-tools
