Could you add the patches to gnu/local.mk?

Could you add a comment (a couple of lines) stating whether it’s triple
licensing or rather that several parts come under different licenses?

The patch overall LGTM but I’m concerned by the relatively large number
of patches and the fact that their upstream status is unknown.  Seems to
me that many of them ought to be upstream no?  If they are upstream, can
we instead either wait for a release that includes them, or take a
snapshot that includes them?

What’s the rationale?  Would #:tests? #f have the same effect?

I’d rather add a build phase that replaces /bin/cp with (which "cp") or
similar.  That way, the package would be self-contained (no need to
manually add Coreutils on $PATH).

This should probably be upstream, but if we have to have it, how about
making this change with ‘substitute*’ instead?

This is bound to expire again.  :-)

How about using faketime instead, as is done for the ‘nss’ package?

Thanks!
