here's two updated patches again:

in order to let coreutils build smoothly, it's better to only check
the last character of program name rather than the full name:

the following patch:
- fix spurious error message when one do make install again (rm part)
- make coreutils use mapped name everywhere needed (because posix said

  --version)
