Building coreutils is somewhat involved because it needs quite new
versions of a number of dependencies.
I found I had been testing with a sufficiently out-of-date gnulib to
prevent coreutils' "make dist" from working. I updated it and now
"bootstrap" doesn't work :)
Should I be using a slightly older version of gnulb to build git
coreutils? Is there any mapping between compatible revisions?

Hallo,

When i list recursivly directories and i only want to see the binary

a parameterset to list the bytes onl

This patch amends my previous changes to join.c to enable
order-checking by default for the case where the user is not making
use of the extension of processing unsorted inputs containing only
pairable lines. This idea was suggestied by Pádraig Brady.

I hope so; in the general case (i.e. with other tools) it can have

Seems sensible. This is what I get on a reasonably recent tree:
$ ./seq -f% 1
./seq: memory exhausted
Note however
Attached is a patch that enhances seq's diagnostics. If you agree
that this is the right way to go, I'll amend other files (ChangeLog,
etc.) as needed.
