[Bug 1081220] [NEW] FTBFS with glibc-2.16 (due to outdated gnulib)

[Wookey]

Public bug reported:

coreutils doesn't build against eglibc due to outdated gnulib referring
to gets which has been removed in this release.

This patch fixes that in a fairly simple-minded manner.

A better fix is a new upstream release with a newer gnulib. the 8.20 in
Debian unstable is such a release. (That version needs a different fix
to cross-build)
