Hi,
In this chapter we are going to compile and install coreutils package.

Note :
- Please check the version of the package when you compile and install, at the time of writing the package was at version 8.32
- You should be logged in as lfs user, when you perform the actions described here.
- Change directory to the sources folder (/mnt/lfs/sources)

Unpacking the coreutils package
$ tar -xvf coreutils-8.32.tar.xz

Change directory
$ cd coreutils-8.32

Preparing for compilation.
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr                     \
            --host=$LFS_TGT                   \
            --build=$(build-aux/config.guess) \
            --enable-install-program=hostname \
            --enable-no-install-program=kill,uptime

Compiling Coreutils.
$ make -j4

Installing Coreutils.
$ make DESTDIR=$LFS install

Move programs to their final expected locations
$ mv -v $LFS/usr/bin/{cat,chgrp,chmod,chown,cp,date,dd,df,echo} $LFS/bin
$ mv -v $LFS/usr/bin/{false,ln,ls,mkdir,mknod,mv,pwd,rm}        $LFS/bin

$ mv -v $LFS/usr/bin/chroot                                     $LFS/usr/sbin
$ mkdir -pv $LFS/usr/share/man/man8
$ mv -v $LFS/usr/share/man/man1/chroot.1                        $LFS/usr/share/man/man8/chroot.8
