coreutils not installable without extra features???

[Dennis Heuer]

hello,

i tried to install coreutils onto a new partition as part of a plain
new x86_64 system. i did this from a fedora8 system because my old one
is a 32bit system. however, the fedora8 system is really more than
feature-complete (including compatibility and deprecated stuff) and all
the tool packages i installed linked to all of that freeheartedly.
other packages, like util-linux, at least allowed for disabling this
behaviour. coreutils doesn't provide such a --without-extras (or
similar) option. this said, i now have a problem with all of the
freshly installed coreutils searching for something (libtinfo,
libselinux, etc.) when i try to start the plain new system to populate
it natively. this is a great problem because the new system should be as
small as possible to make stripping dependencies to the parent system
as easy as possible.

please support a 'plain' installation without extra dependencies.

many thanks,
dennis heuer
