I did a commit 'fixing' that @coreutils@/bin/cat, which wasn't that
good I saw later.

I tried that the new stdenv did not require a much more complicated
rebuild or dependencies. I've seen it seems to work in linux, looking
at hydra 'Errors'. But we should fix the other stdenv. We will
remember it, while they remain broken.
