It was introduced in this commit, Cc'ing Nitin.

commit 543577c25b5a4e89a3ab15ee28e754b71c2a43d5

    coreutils-6.9: fix man page building for the gplv2 recipe

But the reason behind the dependency is not entirely clear. And we've
never seen such issue with the GPLv3 recipe. (And the GPLv2 recipe with
my fix has been building well here for some time).

Yeah, the build would still be broken.

The main contents of coreutils are the several dozen commands. I'm not
sure how it can be useful if we install them into a not-in-$PATH dir.
Any suggestions? I'm willing to work out a fix.
