[PATCH] build: remove redundant dependency: $(PROGRAMS): lib/libcoreutils.a

[Jim Meyering]

FYI,

While it looks small and "easy", this change was a fix to a
decidedly hard-to-diagnose problem that arose only once I tried
to use a compiled-from-C program to generate a file like primes.h.
Such a program must not depend on libcoreutils.a.  Otherwise all
of lib/*.o would also be among the dependents of $(BUILT_SOURCES),
and there is currently no way to stage the building of those
dependents.  Building them out of order is fatal, usually ending
with link failures due to undefined rpl_* symbols.

Subject: [PATCH] build: remove redundant dependency: $(PROGRAMS):
 lib/libcoreutils.a

* src/local.mk: Remove the above dependency.
A soon-to-be-added new program, make-prime-list, must not depend
on that, since it is used to create a BUILT_SOURCES file.
That dependency is already handled via the ..._LD_ADD variables,
and so that redundant dependency has so far been harmless.
