Comment (by ken):

 I hope we'll do the same here (one less package to build).

 There will be an addition needed to temporary perl, and it will need a
 little persuasion to get through the coreutils non-root testsuite.

 The lack of hostname is a different matter: my experiments for LFS suggest
 it doesn't build even when not in the enable-non-install-programs list.
 If that is the case, we will need a script as a minimum, or else to wait
 until util-linux-ng provides it.

 Possibly, what we do for hostname will also impact on the echo which
 invokes hostname in a subshell for the perl testsuite (I got bitten by the
 missing hostname in LFS a few minutes ago, haven't yet got to the perl
 testsuite).  That probably also affects the boot version of coreutils (I
 can't remember if the minimal bootscripts invoke hostname).

 But, since this is targeted for 1.2.0, no rush.
