Title:
  FTBFS with glibc-2.16 (due to outdated gnulib)

Status in “coreutils” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  coreutils doesn't build against eglibc due to outdated gnulib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)
