I was having some problems getting programs to compile on my Mac, and
tracked it down to the GNU uname program (which I then renamed
'guname' for the purposes of testing).
This is the version I have installed:
$ guname --version
uname (coreutils) 5.2.1

Note the difference in -a and -p from the regular 'uname' program (/
usr/bin/uname):
uname -a: Darwin MacBook.local 8.10.1 Darwin Kernel Version 8.10.1:

Is there a way to have the GNU versions of these programs
automatically prepend a 'g' (i.e. 'gls' instead of 'ls') when
installed? I've seen that done on some systems but wasn't sure if
that was an automatic thing or not. Of course you wouldn't want
'ggzip' I guess! In any case, thanks for the coreutils, I love them
and always install them right away when setting up a new system.
Thanks!
