[PATCH] Give coreutils a chance to build the df utility

[Julian Pidancet]

The coreutils configure script is unable determine how to get free
space from the Operating System when cross-compiling. This patch
gives it some extra help by setting the fu_cv_sys_stat_statfs2_bsize
variable to yes before invoking the configure script.

I'm asking out of curiosity.. why don't these go in meta/site/common instead?

To be honest, I ignored the very existence of this file. Is this
globally applied to all the recipes ? Isn't there a risk of breaking
other packages by doing this ?

A small risk, yes.  On the other hand, by hardcoding one particular
value in the recipe, there is a risk that it might be the wrong answer
for some target systems.  Whereas the site files are, intentionally,
target and OS specific.
