It was introduced in this commit, Cc'ing Nitin.

    coreutils-6.9: fix man page building for the gplv2 recipe

But the reason behind the dependency is not entirely clear. And we've
never seen such issue with the GPLv3 recipe. (And the GPLv2 recipe with
my fix has been building well here for some time).

Yeah, the build would still be broken.

The main contents of coreutils are the several dozen commands. I'm not
sure how it can be useful if we install them into a not-in-$PATH dir.
Any suggestions? I'm willing to work out a fix.
