Philipp changed this line from shasum to sha256sum as he/we thought  
sha256sum is more commonly available. If that is not the case I would  
propose to disapprove the change as it is more easy to get the  
required binary from cpan than to recompile coreutils-native.
As a last resort we could add sha256sum code to base.bbclass...

Where is shasum -a2 coming from? This must be a local change at your  
side.
