Description wbrana 2012-08-05 18:25:00 UTC 
coreutils could be built with -fvisibility=hidden which makes executable smaller with smaller load time

Isn't this what CFLAGS is for?

this is something to do upstream.  coreutils produces shared libraries btw which visibility=hidden most likely breaks.
