    coreutils: Update to 8.32

    * Noteworthy changes in release 8.32 (2020-03-05) [stable]

    ** Bug fixes

      cp now copies /dev/fd/N correctly on platforms like Solaris where
      it is a character-special file whose minor device number is N.
      [bug introduced in fileutils-4.1.6]

      dd conv=fdatasync no longer reports a "Bad file descriptor" error
      when fdatasync is interrupted, and dd now retries interrupted calls
      to close, fdatasync, fstat and fsync instead of incorrectly
      reporting an "Interrupted system call" error.
      [bugs introduced in coreutils-6.0]

      df now correctly parses the /proc/self/mountinfo file for unusual entries
      like ones with '\r' in a field value ("mount -t tmpfs tmpfs /foo$'\r'bar"),
      when the source field is empty ('mount -t tmpfs "" /mnt'), and when the
      filesystem type contains characters like a blank which need escaping.
      [bugs introduced in coreutils-8.24 with the introduction of reading
       the /proc/self/mountinfo file]

      factor again outputs immediately when stdout is a tty but stdin is not.
      [bug introduced in coreutils-8.24]

      ln works again on old systems without O_DIRECTORY support (like Solaris 10),
      and on systems where symlink ("x", ".") fails with errno == EINVAL
      (like Solaris 10 and Solaris 11).
      [bug introduced in coreutils-8.31]

      rmdir --ignore-fail-on-non-empty now works correctly for directories
      that fail to be removed due to permission issues.  Previously the exit status
      was reversed, failing for non empty and succeeding for empty directories.
      [bug introduced in coreutils-6.11]

      'shuf -r -n 0 file' no longer mistakenly reads from standard input.
      [bug introduced with the --repeat feature in coreutils-8.22]

      split no longer reports a "output file suffixes exhausted" error
      when the specified number of files is evenly divisible by 10, 16, 26,
      for --numeric, --hex, or default alphabetic suffixes respectively.
      [bug introduced in coreutils-8.24]

      seq no longer prints an extra line under certain circumstances (such as
      'seq -f "%g " 1000000 1000000').
      [bug introduced in coreutils-6.10]

    ** Changes in behavior

      Several programs now check that numbers end properly.  For example,
      'du -d 1x' now reports an error instead of silently ignoring the 'x'.
      Affected programs and options include du -d, expr's numeric operands
      on non-GMP builds, install -g and -o, ls's TABSIZE environment
      variable, mknod b and c, ptx -g and -w, shuf -n, and sort --batch-size
      and --parallel.

      date now parses military time zones in accordance with common usage:
        "A" to "M"  are equivalent to UTC+1 to UTC+12
        "N" to "Y"  are equivalent to UTC-1 to UTC-12
        "Z" is "zulu" time (UTC).
      For example, 'date -d "09:00B" is now equivalent to 9am in UTC+2 time zone.
      Previously, military time zones were parsed according to the obsolete
      rfc822, with their value negated (e.g., "B" was equivalent to UTC-2).
      [The old behavior was introduced in sh-utils 2.0.15 ca. 1999, predating
      coreutils package.]

      ls issues an error message on a removed directory, on GNU/Linux systems.
      Previously no error and no entries were output, and so indistinguishable
      from an empty directory, with default ls options.

      uniq no longer uses strcoll() to determine string equivalence,
      and so will operate more efficiently and consistently.

    ** New Features

      ls now supports the --time=birth option to display and sort by
      file creation time, where available.

      od --skip-bytes now can use lseek even if the input is not a regular
      file, greatly improving performance in some cases.

      stat(1) supports a new --cached= option, used on systems with statx(2)
      to control cache coherency of file system attributes,
      useful on network file systems.

    ** Improvements

      stat and ls now use the statx() system call where available, which can
      operate more efficiently by only retrieving requested attributes.

      stat and tail now know about the "binderfs", "dma-buf-fs", "erofs",
      "ppc-cmm-fs", and "z3fold" file systems.
      stat -f -c%T now reports the file system type, and tail -f uses inotify.

    ** Build-related

      gzip-compressed tarballs are distributed once again
