I noticed this uclibc build issue mentioned at:
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.lib.uclibc.buildroot/73294
I sent a separate patch to gnulib to fix the direct issue there,
however I was surprised that we were using the spawn-pipe module at all.
It seems since coreutils 8.16 we've pulled in these dependencies:
pipe
spawn-pipe
posix_spawnp
posix_spawnp-internal
spawn
The change to add "pipe" was triggered by this GNULIB_POSIXCHECK result:
"call to 'pipe' declared with attribute warning: pipe is unportable -
use gnulib module pipe-posix for portability [-Werror]"
So I think we really only need to include pipe-posix instead,
which is what the attached patch does.
The build error is a bit surprising as it suggests that uclibc builds
are broken since 8.16? Or maybe uclibc has recently moved posix_spawn() -lrt?
In any case these two fixes should avoid the issue for future coreutils
releases.
thanks,
Pádraig.

Subject: [PATCH] build: avoid unneeded spawn-pipe gnulib module
* bootstrap.conf: Reference the used pipe-posix module
rather than the uneeded and larger spawn-pipe module,
which the pipe module was the deprecated equivalent of.
Note the spawn-pipe module had build issues on uclibc,
which is addressed in a separate gnulib patch.
