That wasn't my question ;), i didn't explained it correctly. But i used
your example to test what i was asking. I meant that if was it possible
to install the coreutils binaries split in two directories, /bin and
/usr/bin, using the configure prefixes for that purpose. So then i could
have binaries like cp, ln, mv,... installed in /bin and the rest installed
in /usr/bin.
