There's a very handy set of utilities that attempt to improve the coreutils package. This package, called moreutils, is available for Debian, but not for portage yet.
I made an ebuild and committed it to the gentoo-sunrise overlay. It is available here: http://gentoo-sunrise.org/svn/reviewed/sys-apps/moreutils/

this is not a bug for people to go dumping their random issues. open a new bug for every new issue.
