coreutils: bump version
Coreutils 6.9 was broken with glibc >= 2.6, due to a coreutils
internal function being named like a glibc function. This has been
fixed in more recent coreutils version, by
http://lists.pld-linux.org/mailman/pipermail/pld-cvs-commit/Week-of-Mon-20070514/155466.html.
Therefore, we upgrade coreutils to its latest version, 7.4, which
raised two problems:
* Recent coreutils releases are not anymore available as .bz2
archives, only .xz archives. Since this archive format is not
supported by Buildroot yet, and the corresponding tools are not
widely available yet, we fallback to the bigger .gz format for the
coreutils package.
* The rename bug detection script m4/rename.m4 was broken, leading
coreutils to try to include windows.h and compile some
Windows-specific code. We introduce a patch to fix this, patch
which has been taken from gnulib. We also make sure that this
workaround is nevery compiled in by passing
gl_cv_func_rename_dest_exists_bug=no to the configure script.
