<title>Installation of Coreutils</title>
<para>There's an internal issue with Coreutils which makes some of the
programs behave abnormally if you build using an older kernel. Apply a
patch to fix the issue:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="pre">patch -Np1 -i ../&coreutils-old-kernel-patch;</userinput></screen>
<para>Prepare Coreutils for compilation:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="configure">./configure --prefix=/tools --enable-install-program=hostname</userinput></screen>

<title>The meaning of the configure options:</title>
<varlistentry>
<term><envar>--enable-install-program=hostname</envar></term>
<listitem>
<para>This enables the <command>hostname</command> binary to be built
and installed – it is disabled by default but is required by the
Perl test suite.</para>
</listitem>
</varlistentry>
</variablelist>
<para>Compile the package:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="make">make</userinput></screen>
<para>To test the results, issue:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="test">make RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes check</userinput></screen>
<para>The <parameter>RUN_EXPENSIVE_TESTS=yes</parameter> 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.</para>
<para>Install the package:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">make install</userinput></screen>
<para>The above command refuses to install <filename>su</filename>
because the program cannot be installed 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 <command>su</command> from our host first in our PATH.
Install it with:</para>
<screen><userinput remap="install">cp -v src/su /tools/bin/su-tools</userinput></screen>
