commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=885e6fdb8a40499804101a70998a4566ed3e6193
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/master

More and more packages are now depending on ln --relative, some require
realpath, both of which only got introduced in "recent" versions of
coreutils; older distros had a separate realpath, though, but that is
not in the list of our required dependencies, and was not installed by
default.

So, we introduce a minimal host variant of coreutils to provide those
programs.
