Are you really using a setup where this detailed tweaking of coreutils
is needed?

Coreutils isn't super huge:

ls -lh target/usr/bin/coreutils
-rwxr-xr-x 1 peko peko 933K Feb 21 23:01 target/usr/bin/coreutils

And if you are using coreutils instead of busybox you are probably not
very interested in saving every last byte of rootfs size anyway, so I'm
not sure we should have 500+ lines of Config.in for this.
