I'd like to jump in and make a comment here... I have coreutils (5.97) 
built on nine different platforms, but haven't even attempted to tackle 
procps as it is not auto*-based (and so far I have not been motivated to 
track down how to set up the build correctly, much less chase down bugs 
and build errors). Unless procps is fixed/improved, dropping these from 
coreutils means - from my POV - that they will be gone entirely.
