Hi Ross,

You are right about this. The old coreutils doesn't build out hostname. 
I cannot recall why I thought it did. Anyway I can see from this mistake 
that using buildhistory is indeed a big help, and I'll use it in my 
future work.

I've sent out a fix to resolve the conflict problem about hostname 
between coreutils and other packages (busybox and net-tools).

Best Regards,
Chen Qi
