Hi,

Package: src:coreutils
During cross build help2man may not run leading FTBFS, it would be
good if it uses dummy-man. Here is the patch for it, but I'm not sure
if it's an appropriate solution.
It would be very beneficial to have this patch applied, or an equivalent
solution, for cross-compilation / bootstrapping.
Several ports are in the works again, and being able to rebootstrap
easily and quickly such a fundamental package as coreutils is a very
worthwhile thing to have in some cases.
Of course the manual pages would not be "valid" initially, but even
without native recompilations of the same versions once
(re)bootstrapped, this would auto-heal when newer versions of the
package enter in the archive and get compiled for the new architecture.
Cheers.
