From 0cb2b158d4650ab0f0648056c212686d026997ae Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Thomas Petazzoni Date: Fri, 21 Feb 2014 00:04:50 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] coreutils: add gnulib patch to fix librt/libthread link in static case coreutils was not building in the static link case with uClibc, due to binaries being linked with librt (for timer functions), but not with libpthread. However, librt uses functions from libpthread, so both must be specified. This lack of linking against libpthread was caused by a deficiency in one of the gnulib m4 macro, for which we add a patch.
